Singing Birds

["Bruce Tannehill" tannehill]

We have been taking a few hikes lately and I am surprised at the number of 
birds still singing at this late date.  Here are a few examples - all of them 
singing up a storm.

South Fork of the Flathead River below Hungry Horse dam.
A few MacGillivray's Warblers
10-20  Swainson's Thrushes
1 Hermit Thrush (First time I have heard one at this low elevation (approx. 
3000 feet) in Western Montana)

Danny On Trail Big Mountain
20-30  MacGillivray's Warblers (many with nontipical songs)
5+  Swainson's Thrushes at bottom of trail
5+  Fox Sparrows
a few White-crowned Sparrows
10-20 Hermit Thurshes many sitting in full view
