Thanks John and Curt! A Wood Thrush don't you think? The last few
years we've enjoyed them in our hollow arriving in early May. I heard
four calling at dusk a few evenings ago. This recording was around
6:30 in the morning, so its not an official "dawn chorus." Despite
the distinct vocal qualities, I still can't figure out what species
the mid-way visitors might be. They do seem to be smallish now that
you mention it. Rob D.
