Hi Kevin,
Thanks for the suggestion. At this point I am inclined toward Varied Thrush=
. Another group member sent me a late summer recording from his home in Sit=
ka, Alaska of some varied thrush that rise and fall in pitch similar to the=
bird in my recording.
My recording location was inland about 100 miles inland from the Pacific Oc=
ean so would be very unusual for Marbled Murrelet, which is considered a se=
a bird except during spring or early summer for nesting in inland coastal f=
orests - usually less than 30 miles from the coast. It would be great to he=
ar them though - I will keep my ears open.
