A lady writes this to me....
Here is a sound that maybe the birders on this group may be able to
identify?
<I've heard a couple of unfamiliar calls in my ramblings through Seward Par=
k
the last week or so. Hoping you might be able to help me here.
1. A whining adolescent "whyyyy?" similar to the Spotted Towhee, but higher
in pitch and lighter in overall quality, coming from the mid canopy. I can
see smallish silhouettes flitting around up there, but haven't yet gotten a
good look.
2. "weeeep? pollyputthekettleon?" high and thin, coming from the mid to
upper canopy. The "pollyputhekettleon" starts high, drops in pitch through
"llyputthekettle" and rises in inflection on "on". On this one I've not eve=
n
seen movement>
This is Washington State, outside Seattle in a park setting surrounded by
Lake Washington.....
