Internal Duets - Cowbird
Program Description
The brown-headed cowbird alternates syllables
between the left and right branches of its syrinx.
Program & Recording Notes
The basic recording of the brown-headed cowbird can be found on the CD accompanying
Donald Kroodsma's wonderful book The Singing Life of Birds.
I slowed the cowbird's song using Bias Peak 4 and separated the left and right channels
using Bias Deck.
I highly recommend watching the online multimedia animation of the syrinx of a cowbird:
