Three pairs of similar notes followed by four or five faster ones. (I recall someone describing this bird's song that way.

Only two pitches (I think this bird usually sings three) in rapid succession, stated six times. About 20 feel up in trees bordering the powerline meadow.

Had trouble flying, gale force winds at the Inlet today.

Also periodical cicadas in background

Believe this is a Great Blue Heron with a juvenile American Eel, but I and the other photographers there weren’t sure if it was an eel.

About 40 ft up in a 60 ft beech, on the opposite side of the meadow and a couple hundred feet closer to the creek than other Thrasher, so maybe total of 500 feet away.
