It may have the longest continuous song I’ve ever recorded.\n\nTo me this bird has always looked like someone had taken a Northern Mockingbird and made it thrush-shaped. It is a mostly-grey thrush with dark wings that can have a small flare of tan colour to them.\n\nIts song can sound very finch-like, with a mix of warbles and abrupt changes in pitch.\n\nAt times, this bird will also sing while flying over its territory.\n\nFor this species in focus episode, I’ll be sharing recordings from the Fullerton Trail in 2025, and Gorge Creek Trail in 2026, as well as a brief we’ve heard already from Jumpingpound Demonstration forest in 2025.\n\nCredits\n\nSongbirding: Kananaskis Country is a Songbirding Studios production.\n\nRecorded, engineered, narrated and created by Rob Porter.\nThe Songbirding cover art (Townsend's Warbler) is by Lauren Helton: https://tinylongwing.carbonmade.com/projects/5344062\n\nCreative Commons music is from Bluedot Sessions.\n\nLearn how to support the show at https://songbirding.com/support","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/JrKPeVhBFDS4nGfU4XZnEZw_C2GjWW1HsZBLsn8g6_g/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8xNTU1/NGRhNDI2M2U5OWY0/MmE5MGZmZDM5NzAw/ZTZjYy5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
