Seward, Alaska
Many thanks to everyone who offered suggestions for the identity of the mystery bird that was driving me nuts. The extremely enlarged photos of the little bird singing 50’ up in the cottonwood cinched the ID not as a rare migrant but as a DARK-EYED JUNCO.
Neither I, nor anyone who responded, has ever heard a Junco sing anything like that. It’s so interesting that two males within two to three blocks in town sang the same short, sweet, descending “Tew, tew, tew, tew.”
It’s a pleasure to be able to connect with such a supportive and helpful community of birders! Thank you for your help!
Happy Birding!
