Seward, Alaska
Happy Earth Day!
This morning, my mystery bird sang his little heart out, high up in a cottonwood tree. “Tew, tew, tew, tew!” The same, sweet, descending short notes followed by a pause. Another bird answered farther away. He obligingly gave me time to walk the remaining block home and drive back with the camera and telephoto lens.
The lighting was terrible and the view was mostly of his light-colored, unstreaked belly, dark throat/breast, dark round head, dark eye, pale beak (yellowish?), longish tail, and unmarked wing.
He’s a bit bigger than a Pine Siskin. I’m thinking Junco-type, but cannot find any song that matches.
I still can’t figure it out.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated!
Happy Birding!
