The mystery bird is.....

the varied thrush! I finally discovered the bird call I had admired so much in the redwoods forest and temperate rain forests of the northwest. I kept hearing this beautiful and melancholy call in several rain forests. Here it is: varied thrush

It sounds better in person. Also, the notes I heard were held longer and there was more time between notes. I had to listen to over a hundred bird calls from the northwest area too find this!

I'm in Gibsons, B.C. now and will stay here for a few more days and then head home.
