Experiences & anecdotes

05/11/2023 - My first exposure to this bird came when I visited New York in 2014. My friend's parents live on Long Island and we saw these birds in their backyard. Now that I live in Texas, I see them almost every time I go birding.

I usually see these birds in groups up in tree canopies. They love to sing and offer many great opportunities to record them.

- This is a much more complex version of their song and call. It's very erratic and much faster than the lazy song in the clip above.
