In addition to hearing and seeing these birds, I heard a song which contained a white-throat-like whistle but which then degenerated into a series of husky buzzes. I remember hearing this same call in Moosonee. It was as if the bird had one singing lesson with a white-throated sparrow but then decided not to bother learning the rest.
May is bee in blossom, May is birds a-nesting, May is picking violets on a hill; May is young and twenty, May is Sunday-besting, May is eager Jack and willing Jill. – The Old Farmer’s Almanac 1961

Yet another one of my favorite places to hike, which I cannot see at present. I miss it so much! Thank you, Miles, for letting me see it, and the many beautiful things to be found there, this way. I am so very grateful to you for this!
