Dear Skip,
I wonder about the possibility of a Black-headed Grosbeak. I have been hearing
them give some odd songs the past several weeks or so. They also like to sing
from the tops of trees. However, from your description of the size of this
bird, it was somewhat smaller than a grosbeak.
Sincerely,
Tim Janzen

Subject: [obol] Mystery song
While birding at Ridgefield NWR, I heard a song I couldn't place. I
posted it as a mystery on xeno-canto, but so far no takers.
You can hear it here:

That's "www.xeno-canto.org/381431" in case the link gets garbled in
translation. Weird song of an expected local or something lost? The
only birds I can think of are tropical and not really candidates.
I'm wondering if this rings a bell with anyone out there in obol-land?
Happy birding,
Skip
