Stonking find by Mr. Gramm! This bird is hard to get on even in its native geographical range. It's a very irregular occasional overshooter in migration to our area, but extraordinarily rare in Kings County, with this only the second eBird record during my lengthening lifetime. Incredibly cooperative, healthy and chipper-looking, singing, rooting for whatever it roots for, and generally putting on a massive show for the birding horde. When I arrived in early afternoon it was not hard to find, as spectators were lined up on both sides of a narrow bank of shrubs and small trees, with the bird happily puttering about in the leaf litter. At a certain point it began to sing, after, I understand, having shut up for much of the midday. Recordings below. Regarding audio recording, I'll be giving a tutorial for photographers on zoom on the subject of how to turn off all the annoying beeps and other unnecessary sounds your camera makes. If you'd like to attend it is absolutely free, the only prerequisite is that you read your camera's manual first and then if you still have questions please contact me for enrollment. AI / Machine Learning notes: Merlin was unable to "identify" this as Swainson's Warbler, and was flashing yellow for "House Sparrow" for me and several other observers whenever the bird vocalized. I assumed this was because the bird is so rare in our geography that Merlin is programmed not to return that result. However, I then tested this theory by turning off location access to Merlin and the app still failed to provide an identity. Interestingly, birdNET (also with the GPS/Location information turned OFF) returns Swainson's as "Almost Certain" for the first of these recordings and returns "Uncertain" for Yellow-throated Warbler for the other two, with no mention of Swainson's.
