Around 8:00 yesterday evening on the Eastern Hgts Rec-Way I heard 4 WOOD
THRUSH. They were in the area between the water tank and the gazebo.
I'm assuming these are local birds, which would be indicative of an
excellent breeding season up there on the hill. One bird in particular
fascinated me. It continuously went through a most impressive
repertoire of what might be called "guitar twanging". Most were single
notes with occasional doublets, and every once in awhile it would
briefly throw in the normal "flute" song. I stood there for a good 15
minutes enthralled by this bird's musical outpouring. I have never
before heard a thrush perform like this. Has anyone else experienced a
thrush doing this?
