Today, at Hugh Taylor Birch, I heard a typical Prairie Warbler song, nothing unusual, the same as every Prairie Warbler song I have ever heard up north. Later, I heard another song, very loud (much louder than typical Prairie Warbler, which always has a sft buzzy quality to me). This was a high pitched trill , much faster than a typical Prairie Warbler trill, and had no ending syllables. I have never heard this song before. I was hoping for some strange rarity from the Carribean, when I finally found the bird in the mangroves - Prairie Warbler!
So, I cannot find any recordings of the Florida coastal race of Prairie Warbler, but I am fairly certain that this is not just a dialect of the more notherly subspecies. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to study or photograph the bird, to compare to any photos.
Any opinions??
