Hi Tweets,

While biking up at UBC near the Anthrop Museum (biking for exercise, no bins
allowed, wouldntcha know it ;-) I heard a strange song, pretty sure it's a
warbler.

A quiet, weak, high-pitched and not very rapid song from near the top of a
small cedar at the Anthrop Museum, given about every 15 sec. Wasn't wiry or
buzzy or burry, just a kind-of wispy, unassertive
'deedledeedledeedle-tititi-zizi' I thought of variant or first-year male
Townsend's or Yellow-rumped, but it just didn't sound right for them. Also,
and I don't know why I think this, but I'm certain it wasn't a whisper song.

I sent the above as a query to Al Jaramillo, but I guess he's away again.
Public or private replies welcomed.
