Re: Ithaca NY (part 2), Dawn Chorus feat Gray Catbird, Chickadee

["William Ruscher Jr." immonacan99]

Hi again David,

                Another nice recording, and thanks for posting the 
recording and the picture. In my opinion, the low thumping sounds are 
the courtship wing beats of a Ruffed Grouse. I also could hear an Am. 
Goldfinch in the recording. 

Regards,

        Bill
