[cobirds] Re: Another bird sound quiz

Possibly a Western Meadowlark.  I got fooled once thinking it was a Say's Phoebe.

On 2nd thought, probably not a Cowbird as their call is too thin.

Hey, folks. Alrighty, that last one was fun, er, "fun."

Here's a new one:

And another cut from the same bird:

You can hear several species in those two cuts, but the one I'm talking about is the slowly and rather steadily repeated whistle, falling in pitch a bit and wavering, uttered every 2-3 seconds. The bird vocalized like this for at least a minute at a time for much of the morning. Audio-recorded (and seen, so I know what it is) near the intersection of Lefthand Canyon Drive and Old Stage Road in Boulder County, yesterday, Wed., June 17.

Any takers?

Enjoy!
