Hello,
For at least the last 2 weeks as I've been leaving for work in the predawn darkness I have been hearing the calls of what I believe to be Swainson's thrushes. I hear a soft whit. The amazing thing is I hear them all around me, from all directions. They don't appear to be coming from the sky from flying birds, rather it sounds as if the birds are on the ground. Has anyone else heard this? I live in the Maple Hills neighborhood in Renton.
