Hi Tweets,
I'd appreciate advice about differentiating the song of the Solitary =
Vireo from the Red-eyed Vireo. I have checked several sources: Thayer's =
Birds of NA, Peterson CD-ROM, Peterson-Western BirdSongs, Know Your =
Common Bird Songs(AXIA), Birds of the Okanagan(CD by J. Neville), =
Birding by Ear(western edition), and several field guides.
What I have found so far is that there is a great deal of difference =
among the recorded songs. Many of the recorded songs do not match =
suggested mnemonics(sp?). In fact, they don't match each other. Why =
don't these birds listen to the recordings and learn the "right" song ? =
:-)=20
Basically, what I have learned is that the Solitary's song is usually =
slower--longer pauses between the phrases.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
