Now that species numbers are dwindling (and my son is posting the Saturday "goodies" before I do), one is forced to observe and comment on behavior (chuckle of heavy irony).
Have had two Starling mimic calls this week already: Eastern Meadowlark (not unusual nor particularly well done today) & Eastern Pewee (that's a personal first - very well done). Wonder how many different birds they can imitate? Most unusual over the years was a Pine Siskin ascending call, done so well that I searched the trees for it just north of Milwaukee. Your experiences? Al Schirmacher Princeton, MN Mille Lacs & Sherburne Counties (Marveling over the YB Loon sighting by an excellent birding couple in central Wisconsin this afternoon)
