I assume you are not discussing the sort of critters we
have in our neighborhood (i.e., roosters)?

Oh no, much smaller than that, fortunately. As I said, from the sound he appears to be right around pocket-sized. I've been wondering how he ever manage to use his mouth for eating, what with being busy proclaiming his territory all day. (In addition to the one I wrote about, I'm also hearing several that sound like the itty bitty finches I've seen as pets, but I haven't seen anything that small (other than a large dragonfly, which AFAIK doesn't have a call) flying around here, but maybe I'm hearing nestlings of some slightly larger species, or maybe something sparrow-sized makes the same sound?)

The largest I've seen land so far this year have been crows, though I've seen gulls or terns, a raptor I couldn't identify, and vultures, all aloft.
