Today at 11:30 I was walking down my street (Coronado) when I heard the Pine Warbler singing in a crabapple tree. After hearing his beautiful call a song rings through the neighborhood identical to the first one from the Pine Warbler the sound did not come from the Pine Warbler I was watching and

[cobirds] Other possibilities for Pine Warbler

All, For such a big report I feel the need for asking other possibilities besides such a rare bird for this area. I can tell it is not a Junco from comparing the two calls and I can't think of anythings else so if anybody has any suggestions I am all ears. Skyler Bol Ft. Collins CO -- You

All, So today a few witnesses (my friend and Cree) saw the Pine Warbler with me and we also heard what we thought to be identical to the Pine Warbler call. After that we headed out in search of it after about 3 hours we had had our share. We were shure that we heared two of the same birds thought
