I am looking for my examples to post and they are not easy to find.=20
I do not sort sounds well enough yet.
In the spring of 2002, I recorded a unique sounding, dense population
of Northern Orioles. This is the highest density location that I
have ever found of Orioles on the Mississippi flyway.
In spring of 2003, at the same exact location I recorded American
Robins that had incorporated a portion of that local Oriole song.=20
What is interesting is that I recorded the Robins a week or two
before the Orioles had returned to this location on migration.
I would love to see someone write up a collection of these
documentations. I do not even know for sure if Robins and Orioles do
return to the exact same nesting grounds year after year. But to me
it sure seems that at least some of them do.
