Speaking of Killdeer, James, I heard one about 3 wks. ago, but realized 
after awhile that the sound was coming from a Starling.  Today I heard a 
Comm. Yellowthroat while soaking up some of that lovely sunshine & 
warmth, but the source was the same.  So I'm wondering about Starling 
memories.  How long can they remember a sound in order to duplicate it?  
Have they recently heard a Killdeer and a Comm. Yellowthroat?  We've had 
Starlings around all winter, and I assume this was one of our year-round 
residents.  Has it really remembered these bird calls over the winter?
