hearing the Thrushes now
stop singing at sunrise
nearly half an hour
before the Wilsons and
the Summer Thrushes.
The last two species
sing until the twilight
is absorbed in the
gloom and the woods
are filled with deep
gloom. They are not
usually out from time
to call for a few
minutes later
1908 Turdus pallasi Bethel
July 30 Carnton etc.
Two weeks ago there were
in full song at all hours of
the day. During the first week
I have heard them singing fairly
only at dawn and in the
coming twilight. They appear to be
exceptionally uncommon here this year.
On July 14th I heard one or two
or a dozen thrushes in driving rain.
Songs poor, a distortion of their notes.
This morning about 3 o'clock two
birds were answering one another
in thicket near the house one
calling e-e-e-e-e (a somewhat nasal,
high pitched note with rising inflection)
The Canary note 'exp-on call' or the other
hears (the night call) and occasionally
here (the night call) and occasionally
here (the night call).
All lengths one of them singing
teheck. At length heard two
a four round bars very like the call of
Techeck, techeck or a Robin Blackbird
and black or
brown collar in throat,
