I heard this call the other day. I am learning that the sounds in nature are as important as what you see. I thought that it sounded close so I began looking for the bird. I did not think to turn on my recorder while I looked. I found the bird and was able to obtain a successful shot or two. By then the bird was feeling uncomfortable and had moved further away. I then turned on my recorder but the bird was a little out of range. I borrowed a recording form http://www.mbr-pwrc.usgs.gov/id/songwav.html so that you could hear the Rufous-sided Towhee. The "birders" tell me they usually hear a bird and identify it by sound even though they don't always see the bird. |
