I am going crazy...

Seriously, I am losing it. I am trying to identify a bird based only on its voice and location. It's very hard to do something like this- I don't recommend it unless you really want to pull your hair out and develop an icky frustrated feeling. This bird has eluded me for nearly a year- I never get a chance to actually see it, just hear its lovely fluid whistling that seems to echo through the forest whenever I am blessed with its presence. The internet seems like it would be a great resource, but I have been sitting here for hours scouring the Cornell Lab of Ornithology website, to no avail. I must be getting closer....


Mitchell Ridge at Post Canyon- near Hood River- a likely hangout for this mystery bird...
