managed to find it's source. High, 60' in an alder tree was a slender
bird silhouetted against the gray sky, so I couldn't see any details He
was smaller than the Robin that was in the same tree( about 3/4 the
size). His tail was slightly forked. He sang loud and over and over for
the 10 minutes I watched him and he was still at it when I left him... It
seemed he was declaring his territory. The only thing I heard that even
came close was Warbling Vireo. Could they be here already?
Any guesses?
