While continuing to research Western Meadowlark vocalizations I *New World Blackbirds* (Jaramillo and Burke) and noticed something that I had missed before in the section on 'Song': "Occasionally performs a 'whisper song.'" Nothing else is said about it. Could this be the unusual vocalization I videotaped?
And I have found a recording of a similar unusual vocalization like the one I videotaped Friday in Pueblo County. It was song #2 in the Bird Friends of San Diego County website<http://www.bird-friends.com/BirdPage.php?name=Western%20Meadowlark> I rechecked *Birds of North America *online but didn't find anything about a 'whisper song' or unusual vocalizations except by juveniles and the bird I videotaped is an adult. I would still like to know if others have heard this type of unusual vocalization in Western Meadowlarks in Colorado and if this is the 'whisper song."
