If it wasn't so hot out, I would have thought it was February." We have them in our neighborhood, and they sing every year, vigorously and for days on end, in September. It's happening this year as always. The only thing I can find out about it is Dunne says they are unusually sedentary, and sing not only to attract a mate, but to establish territory (females sing too). But why especially in Sept? Maybe the end of nesting season is when new territories get established. The bottom two of the three pix on this page show one singing a week ago at my next door neighbor's: http://www.geocities.com/tgrey41/Pages/CaliforniaThrasherp.html Tom Grey _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
