Here is video/audio confirmation of the ID: https://youtu.be/5C3lBAUyNoQ
I should probably qualify the "calling frequently" to indicate that when it's singing, it does so pretty constantly for 5-10 minutes, but it can go quiet for long stretches. After Jeff ID'ed the song from our yard (it was audible, but distant to our north), I went out to get a closer look and narrow down the location, and I wandered around for 20-30 minutes before it started up singing again. It was in the same general area from which we'd first heard it. The video above is just SW of the intersection of Apache St. and Cheyenne Ln. So far it's been staying north of Dakorah Ln., east of Apache. The bird was singing high up in deciduous trees (mostly silver maples in our neighborhood), so easier to watch without making the neighbors nervous.
