I believe the location could be called 'Ovenbird City'. That was an
incredibly busy morning! It's nice to know there are still birds out there =

dawn choruses have become much too quiet in recent years. I didn't give it =

hearing a northern waterthrush, and the one sound that gives it more of a
mid-west tone was (I'm pretty sure) a few notes from a Trumpeter Swan. Like
Kevin, there was (at least) one other loud warbler that I can't pin down.
I'm sure there's more, but I listened only once on computer speakers as I
was headed out the door - definitely a miscarriage of justice for an awesom=

Curt,
Getting recordings like this is what makes this group fun for me.
Thanks for the sounds. Of course, I can't resist the attempt to ID
the creatures heard. I'm not even going to try the Australian birds
but I'll give this one a go. Are we in the American northeast or
upper midwest in a woodland near a lake? Do I hear the following?
Ovenbird
Ruffed Grouse
American Robin
Black-capped Chickadee
Canada Goose
Common Loon
Blue Jay
American Crow
Yellow-bellied Sapsucker
Another warbler I'll need help on
Maybe Rose-breasted Grosbeak in the distance
