Another question, The Western Meadowlark displays a burst of song in Sep/Oct. I have guessed that birds are establishing winter feeding territories. Does anyone know for sure? Anyone have BNA to look it up? Do females also sing and establish winter territories? I have also observed Townsend's Solitaire singing on winter feeding territories in areas of trees and bushes laden with small fruits and berries. These winter territories are vigorously defended (by male, female, or both?) then abandoned in April as the birds move to higher altitudes to establish nesting territories. Thanks, Kevin J.
