I did not hear the bird again this morning but it is very cold and windy here on the lake and there were not many birds calling at all. And the roaring and groaning of the ice would have hogged any airspace on a recording today. The ice sounds differ in quality and intensity everyday it seems but it is rarely silent.

Conditions are supposed to improve as the week goes so I will keep listening for it.

I also think of them more as town birds (at least in NS thus far) rather than being out in the woods. But they are versatile, I know. Do others see them at feeders in remote locations?
