- Comments: "Flagged: Some mysterious combination of rare and difficult to identify. This was probably the same individual I had yesterday, in the same location just east of the Dongan Oak and N of the mulch pile, today often hopping around on the lower path, and then it did the same thing I’ve seen each BITH do this year: After foraging on the ground for a while, it hopped up on a perch, called repeatedly, louder and louder and higher-pitched each time (note that Merlin sometimes identities these calls, at first, as GCTH, because the calls alone are not reliable, though in my experience it tends to get it right as the calls rise), before pouring forth with a stream of song, usually for about as long as it’s left alone. More audio. Video also available."
