Hi John and Curt,
I didn't consider the trill to be a Dark-eyed Junco on
my first listen to the recording, as the trill didn't sound "ticky"
enough. John's post made me listen again. I agree with him on the
sound. The trilling of Pine Warbler, and DE Junco are often confused
(by me anyway), not to mention the also similar sounding Worm-eating
Warbler and Chipping Sparrow. Pine Warbler trills would be from the
upper canopy and probably sound a bit faster , while DE Junco would be
more ground dwelling. If in the field, I would need to find the distant
calling Thrush to be sure , but Hermit (as John is leaning toward) is
very probable. I do believe I missed the Grosbeak completely !
Always fun to listen and learn.
Regards,
Bill

More distantly the flutey song of a Hermit Thrush. I am about 70% sure
its a Hermit. My other preference would be a Wood Thrush (30%).
