Catharus ustulatus

field recording These birds (Swainson's Thrushes I think), were heard along the trail to Inspiration Point at Jenny Lake in Grand Teton NP. The birds were calling to each other from lower branches of various trees that were right along the path at the edge of the water (there is a lot of water sound in the audio recording). The birds were originally heard when the sun was out and weather was nice, but the recording was made just before a rain/hail storm hit the area.. . I cut together two parts of recordings here – the first 7 seconds includes only bird calls, and the remainder of the recording is an unmodified mixture of calls and songs. Apologies that there is also a little bit of noise from people talking and moving around. I do have longer recordings, but they include even more people noise.. . [Here](https://www.dropbox.com/sc/st9wc1hnq65ugtu/AACsOAfKX9FjesojyoBe7ASda) is a Dropbox link with photos. The first photo is of my two friends searching for the birds, which shows how close to the edge of Jenny Lake we were. The second photo has a red circle around one of the birds in question, and the last photo is the full uncropped unmarked version of the second photo (mystery bird is just right of center).; animal seen:yes
