gxDennis, I'm confused now. Tonight, at 2030, I was at the base of Edgar Rock 38
miles west of Yakima on the Chinook Pass Hwy. The evening chorus of thrushes
included Hermits in the surrounding coniferous forests and Swainson's along the
Naches River. I'm quite sure the call of the Swainson's was the exagerated
"wip" or "pip" call you associate with the olive-back. Until my visit to the NE
corner a week ago, I never had paid much attention to the difference in call
notes between these Swainson's. Is it possible theres more going on here than
we know about?
