Greetings Nathan,
Thanks for putting in the work to record this bird. Cell phone dead yesterday, and due to alimentary ailments unable to do much of anything today. My memory (here is where the brain does weird things to what you hear and see) had this bird's call note as more bipartite, though not so much as a Cordilleran. NONETHELESS, I am certain that you recorded the bird I heard, alas. At least it is one less write up for the CBRC :o) I do have one request: in the second portion of your discussion, the only PacSlope is one from Arizona. I would be interested to see what the sonogram (?) of a male position note form w. WA or w. OR look like. Though AZ is not truly "out of range" for Pac Slope, it would be nice to see a sonogram from the extreme edge (away from Cordilleran) of the PacSlope range, where one can be pretty certain there is no gene mixing. Finally, in reality, the bird sounds more like a PacSlope, but atypical for either taxon, and usually in such cases the correct ID is that of the commoner bird. Thanks for your work on this, once again Steve Mlodinow Longmont, CO -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
