Livia and I just heard a probable CLAY-COLORED SPARROW singing from the Christmas tree farm on Lick Street in Summerhill, just north of Rt. 90 on the west side of the road. We are along the first stretch of this farm, about where the first slightly forested area begins on the east side. The bird gave several soft song bouts from somewhere out in the small spruces, but it was singing very quietly and we were not able to get a visual. We have waited around a while but it has not called again. Song sounded typical of this species, a series of dry, buzzy notes. Habitat looks perfect for them as well. I will post if we have any luck refinding it.
