Mystery bird

 

In Bandera, I heard this bird, which sounds to me like a Townsend’s Solitaire.  I walked that direction to find it, but couldn’t.  It eventually flushed but I didn’t get a look at it.

Problem is, there aren’t supposed to be any Townsend’s Solitaires in Bandera County, Texas in October.  They're pretty much not here at all.  I made an audio tape and converted it to a video so I could save and share it.  (That's why there isn't any video in this video, just audio.)

 

The doink, doink, doink call seems unmistakable though.

 

 

Meanwhile….

We’ve left Bandera.  Now we’re in Choke Canyon State Park, halfway between San Antonio and Corpus Christi.
