NORTHERN CARDINAL: UNIQUE BIRD CALL

I read once that here are many more American who take part in bird-watching than in NASCAR activities, and that's the justification I am using for this posting. I also once hosted a regular bird-watching show on WJLK Radio in New Jersey. The news is this:

A brand new species of bird has been uncovered by its song.



" the new bird species which looked similar to the russet bush warbler
has a lower-pitched song with more drawn-out notes compared to the
already known bird species. Comparing the sonograms of the songs of the
two bird species also shows a huge difference.


"I first heard this species together with my friend Urban Olsson when
we visited the sacred Emei mountain in Sichuan province, central China
in May 1992", said Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences professor
of evolution and systematics Per Alström.



However, it was not until almost 20 years later that Alström was able to return to China and assemble a team that was able to capture the first Sichuan bush warbler.". From a story at Tech Times.
