Media notes
I saw the movement of the bird in foliage of a magnolia bush/tree, but not the individual itself, and it disappeared without my catching a glimpse. I believe it was a Gray Catbird mimicking an Eastern Towhee (also one phrase of White-throated Sparrow). "Merlin" ID'd "Gray Catbird" once and then ignored the EATO-like song fragments that followed. The segment uploaded was the best segment recorded (least amount of human noise). Also heard: White-throated Sparrow (call), Northern Cardinal, Canada Goose, House Sparrow, Tufted Titmouse, wind, airplane.
