Hasan Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 This is for all you bird call sleuths out there. A bit after dusk, I had a bird in central Illinois respond to a saw-whet tape. It sounds just about identical to the smack call of a Brown Thrasher, and there's a single (what I thought was unreliable) report from earlier this week, but this is a frequently visited spot so I thought it would have been detected by now if it was there. That said, I'm curious if there's any other species this could be. Thanks. brown thrasher.mp3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birding Boy Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 This sounds more like the alarm call of a Common Yellowthroat, to me at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
