RE: [cobirds] Northern Cardinal, Louisville, Boulder County

Cobirders,

 

I had a similar experience while working on a lawn project a few years ago.  I was going about my business when I suddenly realized I was hearing a Northern Cardinal in a nearby tree and then it stopped after a few calls.  I walked over to the tree and could not find the bird.  A while later it called again, this time a bit longer than the first time, but I again had no luck finding the bird.  When it called a third time, I raced over to the tree but the only bird I found was a Lesser Goldfinch.  Imagine my surprise when the goldfinch suddenly began calling like a Northern Cardinal!

 

Good Birding,
