The Bicknells Thrush is readily confirmed from the nearly identical Gray cheeked Thrush by its song. If you know it, you would've found it near the Music Pagoda. Heard and seen from the stretch starting at Pagoda wood bridge , along the Binnen Creek all the way to Lily Pool, a continuing bird is offering looks to anyone looking for a life bird. Here's the song https://youtu.be/hB-46GRpZas
Meanwhile at the Vale of Cashmere , the skulker is a female Mourning Warbler. It's traveling around the edges of the pool,either side on the slopes, the concrete path, even the edge of the water. This is great cooperation I think for a bird of its reclusive nature.
