For the past couple weeks or so around our property I've been hearing a
SONG SPARROW singing a darn good imitation of a FIELD SPARROW song. It
continuously sings this song and only occasionally lets out with the
normal song sparrow song. Has anyone else heard a song sparrow doing
this? If not, perhaps I should get my hands on a parabolic recorder and
make a recording of it for the Library of Natural Sounds.
I have to chuckle thinking that this bird is so pleased with itself and
its new-found song that it just has to keep singing out for all the
world to hear!
