From an article by Michael Richie, "Rocky Mountain Bird Songs", MontroseStyle Magazine, Spring/Summer 2009, The Music Issue. "While our vocal ranges overlap, birds surpass humans in several aspects of music making. The avian vocal chord, called the syrinx, technically surpasses our larynx. Sound is produced in much the same way by forcing air through a slit-like orifice between two flexible membranes, but birds control each membrane separately which means unlike us, they can produce two notes simultaneously. As complex and appealing as a Western Slope avian forest ensemble may sound, we probably only hear part of it."
