Brown-headed Cowbird Theme and Variations

["Doug Von Gausig" dougvg]

Today a single male Brown-headed Cowbird (Molothrus ater) sat in the tree
outside my office and began to sing. I started recording and became
fascinated by the variations I could hear in his songs and whistles. I've
posted an MP3 of the song/whistle performance, and two resampled clips of
his songs and whistles slowed to 1/3 normal speed. These resampled clips
let you really hear the subtle differences in his songs and whistles. They=

are at: http://www.naturesongs.com/paruicte.html#bhco, beginning with "A
single male..."

I'd like to hear others' recordings of this species from other territories,=

to see how dialectic they might be.
