These guys get up and start singing just before dawn around here. This one was still hollering "Drink your tea!" at 9 AM.
I believe this caught him in mid trill on "Tea"

Hey Durwood,

This one could be in a dentist's office, with that mouth open so wide. Very nice! Does it really sound like "Drink your Tea?"

We occasionally have a Towhee around here as well, they tend to be shy although you caught him at a proud moment. Nice shot.

It comes as close to that as any other phrase. More like Drink your teaeaeaeaeaea!"

Sometimes in the morning one will answer with a simple "Your Tea!"

After listening to one sing for about 40 minutes today, I think they come closer to saying, "Eat your cheese." than anything else.
