We have had a Starling doing a Comm. Loon imitation this spring! A =
very good imitation too, but, of course, without the volume.

Hey folks,=20
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 =

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...
