I don't know if they're in tune but they annoy the heck out of me. I'm not sure exactly what kind of birds they are but they seem to particularly love my neighbours pine trees. They have an amazingly diverse vocabulary and they're LOUD.
When we moved here, I remember hearing one of them starting to sing at around 1 or 2 am every night. Took me a while to compute that this wasn't morning and that this fellow was indeed a few hours early or on a night schedule. After 40 years of birds singing at dawn, your brain makes certain assumptions...
Anyway, they're loud and loud and loud.
Give me bats over that anytime.
