Observation details
Driving into the refuge this morning, I pulled over in a birdy spot a hundred yards or more before the Wardens. Pretty quickly, I started hearing a burry call that sounded like a MOWA, but Merlin kept refusing to recognize it. The bird remained unseen, so I couldn't be sure. Since the cadence is very similar to that of a CSWA, I thought maybe it was a non-standard call and forgot about it until later when Jonathan Layman reported hearing one by the Wardens. After getting home, I went through my recordings and it does sound like a version of MOWA, so I am putting it in. The song is at 1 second and 11 seconds. If reviewers find it to not be MOWA, I'm sure I'll hear about it.
