Found A Teeny Bit Of Connection In Tecpan

A tiny interruption from the contest.

I just wanted to put in a video of my favorite part of Guatemala thus far. It's the song of a brown-backed solitaire echoing through the mountains. The Spanish name for this bird is protector de la barranca which means "canyon guard". It's more of a siren song to me, calling you into the forest for adventure. In the first part you'll hear a rufus-collared thrush and at about 4 seconds, you'll hear the solitaire!

Thanks for that song! I first heard it in Oaxaca, Mexico last year, and it was my favorite birdsong of the the trip. Exquisite.

Did you mean at 4 seconds? The video is only 13 seconds long.

Very cool song.

NBB here: You're right, it's 4 seconds. Made the correction.

Such a lovely song! Much more tropical sounding than the northern birds I hear up in New England. Very pretty.
