Lindsay-Parsons seems to harbor a lot of strange singers. During the Spring Bird Quest on Saturday, May 27, I recorded the following "ascending song", which starts around the 5-second mark in this clip:

I have a candidate answer (a silent bird observed in the same tree as the singer, though the bird was never seen singing, nor was it ever seen at the same time the song was sung). I'll divulge my candidate later. E-mail me off-list with your thoughts and guesses. Suan PS. That short iPhone-recorded clip has quite the plethora of different songs, more so that I think I was aware of at time of recording. How many can you identify? -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
