[va-richmond-general] Misc. +ear birding

Have spent the last ten or so days in the mountaons of Nelson County where, at 
some 3500 feet or so, it has been fairly chilly.  Apparently it has been so 
cool here that the trees are WAY behind . Some, at ridge tops, are still 
budding, although the last two days have improved things.

I am not seeing a lot of warblers, although I watched an Americann Redstart 
building a nest.  Also enjoyed watching a Robin repeatedly bombarding a 
squirrel who she though was invading her nesting tree. She made at least four 
passes at him and then chased him briefly across the forest floor (reall mocker 
behavior)!

We have hermit thrush. wood thrush, and my ever-favorite veerys.  But not being 
a very good ear-birder, I need some help.  I have some good bird call cds and 
two unknown birds and don't know how to begin to see what they might be.  One 
simply sings two notes in what I think is a middle range.  The notes are one 
note apart, the second lower than the first.  The second makes a single low and 
somewhat hollow note repeated about 7 to 9 times.  This is a ground bird or one 
low in the bushes.

Can anyone aim me at some possibilities?


Thanks,


ANN
