"I lucked onto another Red-throated Pipit this morning at Rocky Point. This one flew in and landed out of sight in a short grass field; it soon took flight again and I managed a brief view in flight as it gained altitude and headed northwest. I whipped out the camera, pressed the video button and managed to get a recording of two flight calls; the recording is at the link below. Comments on these calls from anyone experienced with Asian pipits are welcome! They do appear to be a good match for Red-throated and lack the pronounced buzzy quality of the flight calls of other somewhat similar-sounding species such as Olive-backed Pipit"
