Dear Folks -
Heard a bird I cannot ID today. Since my accident I cannot hold my
binocs so am relying on my ears and what I can see with the naked eye.
Perched in the top of a big Doug fir, repeated clear notes, all the same
tone, three to seven notes, followed by a guttural 'chuck'. Sounded
like an Icterid, but I cannot find anything to match.
Couldn't see much color but it appeared to have a yellow wash on the
breast. Good-sized bird, about black-headed grosbeak size.
Never heard it here before (~1400 ft., forest and field) and now it is gone.
Thanks in advance - Ann outside of Myrtle Creek
