Guest Post – Lessons From Yard Listing: What I Learned From a Few Bilingual White-throated Sparrows I have always loved listening to birds, and I am especially fascinated by birds that mimic other species.

"I hope that this article will get more people thinking about learning and mimicry in calls and call variation in general. Clearly there is a lot to be learned on this topic, even in one of the most thoroughly studied North American bird species." #ornithology
