I have noticed that red-wing blackbirds on the West of the Cascades
here have a different "dialect" then the red-wing blackbirds I just
recorded in central Oregon. The ones over here have more distinct
phrasing, the ones I just recorded in Bend have a more musical
"slurring."

Not scientific, but I noticed a distinct difference.
