About three or four years ago I found similar differences in songs of Northern Waterthrushes. All in the same location, that is Sapsucker Woods on the Dryden side of the trails.
Initially, I distinguished them by sound, then I recorded them and looked at the sonograms. I was surprised that my ears, which in the previous years could not distinguish between Northern Lousiana, but now could tell the difference between the individual Northerns was amazing to me. Definitely listening to more individuals helps!

As noted in BNA, each male has a unique, although similar, song. I am aware of the following locations and would like to hear of any others.
