This is probably not the same bird as ML81625881, which I believe may be audible counter-singing.The bird was seen as close as 5 m away during the portion of the track between 13:05 and 18:58. A single song between 15:41 and 15:44 will be slightly distorted due to overtopping. Specific Location: Latitude 29.251523, Longitude -103.298628, Elevation 2095 m.
