Hey folks,
I am certainly not casting any doubt on the observation (although early, it
sounds entirely plausible), but it just reminded me of an observation about
two weeks ago, I forgot to report, of a *Starling *doing a fantastic *Eastern
Wood-Pewee rendition* on Main Street Kentville. Stopped me in my tracks
while walking to work!! ("Woah...hold on here...")
This adds to the ongoing list of *Starling mimicry* I've heard in the last
couple of years, which also includes *Alder Flycatcher*, *Northern Cardinal*and
*Killdeer*...
Cheers,
James.
