Hi all, Earlier in the year I was puzzled by what I thought was an odd Sedge Wren song. It was heard off the Ottawa loop during the Biggest Week in American Birding. I eBirded it as Sedge Wren, and after talking with Ethan Kistler and a few other birders, I learned that I was actually probably hearing a Common Yellowthroat. Yes, making a sound I'd never heard anyone mention before! The corrected eBird checklist ( http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S18279883) includes an embedded "chatter call" someone else recorded in Maine: http://www.xeno-canto.org/20981 Here's another recording I made earlier this summer of this call in Colorado (it's in the background of a LOT of Red-winged Blackbird calls): http://www.xeno-canto.org/182754 Just something I wanted to make sure was on everyone's radar.
