Sean: I am sure you heard something but not sure exactly what. I can say
this from my own experience...Where La. Waterthrushes, Hoodeds, and even
Swainson's breed in close proximity, the ability for them to sound similar
to each other or blend into a back ground of mixed song is amazing...I can
not tell you how many times I have stood in the woods trying to ID which I
was hearing during breeding season where these 3 are present, to this day.
Perhaps its my lame ear but I suspect this is a common problem with heard
onlys of these southern breeders. It is also late to hear La
Waterthrushes or Hoodeds singing, though I am sure there are exceptions. A
mocker doing imitating a Hooded is something I guess I am still waiting to
hear. All of the above breed here in the Lost Pines.
