[pct-l] Varied Thrush

[Brett]

A couple of helpful responses came in re: the mystery bird - 
many thanks. Yet since the hardcore ornithological 
constituency of pct-l appears to have flown the coup, I'm 
left to raise, answer, and expand upon my own inquiries 
unsquelched by the usual erudite pedanticism. Otherwise, 
it's a shame.

The bird is indeed a varied thrush. Without question the 
most haunting avian sound between Mexico and Canada, 
especially given its relative obscurity. The following links 
don't do justice, but perhaps would jog the collective 
primordial memory.
