Hi all, On Saturday, I was walking in the woods at Schaar's Bluff (I was on the trail on the south of the visitor center, near the meadow) where they've clear cut the area off the trail, and I heard a strange sound to my right. It sounded like a bird gurgling water bubbles (I know of no other way to describe the sound I heard). I know it was a bird and this was its "call note", because later on it did some "trilling" (its song).
I've listened to some bird songs, but I've not yet heard anything that comes close to what I heard. In my mind, I know I've heard some bird's callnote being compared to this, but I can't recall which species. I am leaning toward something like a thrush or warber. It was either on the ground or high up in a tree (I am leaning about 99% toward it being up high in a tree). It's none of the thrushes I've listened to (Wood, Veery, Swainson's, Gray-cheeked) and I have only listened to a few Warblers. It's not a water bird as I was not close to the water. I'm totally stumped and I'm hoping for some help. Richard Richard L. Wood, Ph. D.
