Acknowledgments

I express my sincere thanks to my wife, colleagues, accompanying field biologists, including Puerto Rican Parrot Volunteers, and IITF Wildlife Program field technicians, for support and especially the camaraderie and ‘memory-making’ we shared over the years. And, given the opportunity, I look forward to many more years of reminiscing over Pearly-eyed Thrashers. I especially thank Mark W. Oberle for the recording, production and editing (e.g., darkening the desired sounds and erasing unwanted background noise) of some of the pearly-eye spectrograms, and for editing and presenting others’ public domain spectrograms in this species account.
