|
Bright and early this morning there was a new bird call right outside the kitchen door and when I looked it was a smallish bird that looked just like a wren. We have house wrens nesting in our yard and I know all of their calls by heard now but this was something new.
What I could see clearly:
brownish red wren colour
slightly curved beak
very narrow tail held up like a wren
sang with it's beak held up and neck puffed up (like our other wrens)
size, larger I'd say by an inch than our house wrens
Song:
2 notes, soh doh soh doh soh doh pause, repeat and really really loud. (not necessarily soh and doh on the scale but there were only 2 pitches and they were about 4 or 5 tones apart)
I live near Toronto, Ontario very close to the lake and to a marsh (1/2 km away)
Any suggestions?
I've listened to Cornell's great website of bird recordings and it wasn't any of the other wrens that could be in our area as regulars....Hmmmmmm
Thanks!
(and no, I wasn't thinking quickly enough to get the camera!)
