Subject: assistance needed:  audio ID of Gray-cheeked vs Bicknell's

Folks,

   I knew it would happen sometime sooner or later.  I heard
a thrush singing in my neighbor's yard this morning that a
few year's ago I would have simply banked as a Gray-cheeked.
Now thanks to the G-C/Bicknell's split, I cannot be sure which
of the two I really heard.  Vol 2 of Birding by Ear has the
calls and songs of Bicknell's (Catharus bicknelli), but does
anyone know where to find the songs and calls of C. minimus,
the "true" Gray-cheeked Thrush?

   Both my copies of Peterson and National Geographic tapes
include Gray-cheeked, but these were made before the split.  Any
suggestions for commercial recordings or downloadable .wav
files would be appreciated.

   I could kick myself for not asking this BEFORE spring
migration began :(   Anyways, thanks in advance,

                                 Dave Webb
