One of the obvious signs that the season will be soon warming up is the sou=
nd of the swainson=92s thrush. The swainson=92s thrush doesn't really start=
 to sing until late may but it arrives this time of year and announces its =
arrival with the unmistaken =93whit=94 call. One of my favorite summer arri=
vals along with the multitude of swallows that says I can take off my therm=
als finally and get my summer clothes ready.
You very seldom see this bird as it is extremely secretive in the newly fol=
iated shrubbery. This was recorded on my property in Washington.
