OK, Warbler test results
 
1)       Blackburnian Warbler recorded just outside Ithaca, New York
2)       Blackburnian Warbler recorded same place
3)       Yellow-Rumped Warbler, Recorded eastern Washington
4)       Yellow-Rumped Warbler Issaquah, WA
I knew 1& 2 would throw some people with the various pitch it its song;
this is the reason I went with Doug in his original analysis of Greg's
birds simply because of these two extreme sounds. It is so hard to
identify a bird with a 1 to 2 second sound byte and I think proof is in
the pudding here!  I certainly would never give my 100% commitment in a
situation like this.
I think its fair play that everyone had a shot at this also, Good stuff,
but where was the Warbling expert with his analysis :-)
 
Marty, I have some great news for you, You can hear Blackburnian's after
all!
 
 
Martyn
