Likewise, I share the recent thoughts from listserv reports posted here by
Steve T. & Dar T., as I enjoyed birding with them and Nolan Pope on Sunday.
Sorry for my tardy post here today, but I presently accessed a computer for the
first time here in Door Co.
My additional thoughts that build upon their valid observations follow:
1. I heard the âdrip note/raindrop noteâ call (not song) of
three different SWAINSONâS THRUSH on the auto tour portion of the NWR that
begins via High. 49.
Yes, I agree itâs early for Swainsonâs Thrush migrants to pass through
Dodge Co., given this species does NOT nest in the county,
but it was an easy call for IDing this species, given I hear this âdrip
note/raindrop noteâ call at various times where this species nests
in n. WI countiesâ¦.as well as in N. CA coastal counties and the Sierra Nevada
mountains where this species is a common nesting resident
(in the county where I live: Marin Co. in the SF Bay Area).
Among the different call versions in the Swainsonâs repertoire (again, not
the song), this âdrip note/raindrop noteâ
is the most common one I typically hear.
2. At our first stop on the auto tour at the turnout, I heard one
BLACK-BILLED CUCKOO singing in the distance.
Meanwhile, enjoy the rest of the summerâ¦.Thanks to Steve T. & Nolan Pope for
picking me up on Sunday and hosting me.
Regards from Door Co. â¦Iâll post my findings from here soon.
