"My songwriter friend Pete Tomack needs some bird help. He's writing a
blues song that features a sad and lonely bird that sings at night.
'Nightingale' has been an overused bird. He wants to use the bird's name in
his lyrics. Varied Thrushes sound rather haunting and perhaps lonely, but
"varied thrush" doesn't meld well into a lyric. Any help here? Thanks,
Lydia Gaebe Bishop"

Hi Lydia -

Perhaps toning it down from the "AOU" name to the old Northwesterner's
common name for the bird:
'Alaska Robin'
Just a thought....
