Hi all, Yesterday I heard a repeated call of long drawn whistle and I am stymied by that. First thought was yes, it is a familar bird. Then it dawned on me that familiarity is from Indian origin, It sounded like a Common Iora or a Magpie Robin call, but this was in Caddo National Grassland in TX near Decatur.
Anyone has any suggestions as to what it could be? I did record it among the calls of other species of birds and wind. I will post the cut when I get chance to do so in next few days. http://www.xeno-canto.org/species/Copsychus-saularis Here is a call of magpie robin, this has shorter intervals, but I think the call I heard was more like Common Iora with longer drawn and longer intervals too, funny I did not find any samples of Common Iora on Xeno Canto. Thanks in advance!
