I've heard the LaSagra's call many times in tne Bahamas.  It often gives
the rapid two-note "whit" call along with the one-note.  The recordings
I've made over there indicate about a 5/1 ratio of one to two notes in
the call of a single bird, occurring generally in a steady rhythmic
cadence but often with intermittent pauses.
