We have a lot of California towhees in the ridge behind my house and they make a cute singular loud "Theet!" chirp that is distinctive and cheerful. For the first year of living here before I figured out what they were actually called, I just nicknamed them "The Theet Birds." They're fun to watch, they hop back and forth to dig up dirt for bugs with their feet and run all over the place making little trails through the bush.
