Thank you, Everyone, for your replies.I did see both an adult junco and a California towhee (age indeterminate) under the tree where the sound seemed to emanate from. It's certainly loud enough to be either of those!The juvenile towhee hopping around with an adult squawked once but didn't chirp.Bonus: though I never saw the adults, four fledgling Western bluebirds have been frequenting our birdbaths and garden.

Sounds like a fledgling. How about a baby Junco?

Please help me to identify this happy chirper. It's been quite vocal around the house for days. I haven't been able to spot it in the oaks or shrubs. Merlin Sound ID doesn't offer any suggestions.
