Media notes
A European Starling heard in February in southern Ontario, doing its own call, but also imitating calls of other birds. Towards the end of the recording between the 18 and 19 second mark, a two-part call similar to that of an Eastern Meadowlark can be heard. "Cha" calls of a nearby Red-bellied Woodpecker can also be heard in the background twice, beginning around the 5 or 6 second mark, and again around the 14 second mark.
Observation details
Doing a masterful job of imitating Goldfinch and Meadowlark, and others including something similar to a male Cowbird song, in addition to its own.
