Heard at Red Rocks - mimic thrush?

[Joe Roller]

Gwen Moore, one of several dedicated volunteers, was spreading seed at the Red Rocks Trading Post this morning, as she has been doing twice weekly, when her astute ear heard am unexpected short burst of song. Sounded like a mimic thrush! Could it be a Northern Mockingbird, rare in Jefferson County or a shivering Brown Thrasher - or could it have been "The Return of the Red Rocks Curve-billed Thrasher?"  Who will find the songster?

Have you noticed? The days are getting brighter, now that we are past the Winter Solstice.

Cobirders,

 

I have heard an occasional exuberant Townsend’s Solitaires burst into song during the winter at Red Rocks.  Could one of these have been the culprit?

 

Good birding,

Another possibility might be a catibird. Randy Lentz found one on the Christmas Bird Count Saturday the 14th in (I believe) Waterton Canyon.
