Observation details
1 mimid, 1 poss Red Fox Sparrow . At same corner at dusk, also 1 prob BRTH, BRTH doing wheeze calls that Merlin called a RBWO. “I know thrashers do something like that; the question is, do mockingbirds too?” Recorded wheezes. Prob BRTH but mimid song is new to us, since we’ve never lived where there are breeding mimids before and therefore have only chased mostly-silent birds in Oregon previously: collectively 3 silent BRTH and almost entirely winter-only mockingbirds in Oregon. We have a little more experience with some few eastern Oregon catbirds, but they really only sing in NE Oregon where we’ve spent almost no summertime. “One of the ecological mysteries of the West: why are there catbirds in NE Oregon, but not on the coast of the Pacific Northwest? Perfectly good catbird habitat!”
