Starlings can be a big problem for birding by ear since they are great =
mimics. There is a flock of them where I work and they do a perfect =
Killdeer (Killdeer summer in the field next to the building) and once I =
heard it do a perfect Red-tailed Hawk scream (another bird in the =
neighborhood) I've also heard Starlings do a Least Flycatcher and a =
Red-bellied Woodpecker. I always am on the lookout for starlings and =
don't trust "heard only" if I see them in the area.
