Index of Subjects --047d7b621e94741fd80517667c4a Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Hi Nancy, Thanks for the input! The lower ending note was my reluctance with labelling this as Blackburnian. I had thought American Redstart for the same reason. Flipping through the recordings on xeno canto and dendroica, it seems that there are some Blackburnian song types that end on a low note (usually after going quite high in pitch). Lower endings are less common, but exist. If you compare the sonogram from my recording to others on xeno canto, there are some similarities with Blackburnian but nothing identical. This one (http://www.xeno-canto.org/83571) shares a component towards the end with my recording, but doesn't have the low ending and is more of a two-part trill rather than continuous rise. So, continued confusion. I flipped through all the american redstart sonograms on xeno canto as well, and didn't find anything that looked quite like my recording. My recording seemed to share more with blackburnian sonograms on xeno canto than with redstart sonograms. Of course, this doesn't make me feel 100% that I'm correct! Thanks again for the input!
