Dear sound-only listers:
Here's what you do: the Mimid Thrushes almost alwats vary their songs with
a medly of various songs and calls.If you hear a single
song or call, keep listening: if the source of the song begins a new song,
you were
fooled. If the only thing you hear is the single diagnostic sound, you've got
your
"real" bird species. If you only hear one call or song phrase and nothing
else,
and can't reliably locate the bird by sight, pass it over and keep listening.
My listing
rule: never list until you're sure.
