In a recent message, Al Schirmacher confessed to mistaking a =
Chestnut-sided Warbler's song for that of a Yellow Warbler.  Al, you are =
not alone.  I've heard it stated that the Yellow's song always ends on =
an up-slurred note.  It's probably true that an up-slurred ending =
indicates Yellow, but I've watched numerous Yellows singing and ending =
on a down-slurred note.  Can anyone out there distinguish with certainty =
which of these species is singing when the song ends with a downward =
slur in habitat where either could occur?  If so, can you explain how =
you do it?

Thank you.
