If anyone is interested in looking at a little more variation, here is an OVEN flight song I was lucky to snag in New York a couple years ago.
Enjoy :)

David,
This certainly sounds similar to the Ovenbird flight songs that I've heard while in the field before. I love how they seem to throw in snippets from the songs of a few neighboring species into their flight song. Don't know if they pick these song snippets
up over time or if they add them in based upon what they hear from the nest or at their breeding locales. I usually pick up Red-eyed Vireo snippets more readily than other sound snippets in my past experience, but that may be entirely locale-related. It certainly
helps to be able to replay the sounds over and over again.
The first one seems to have the following makeup:
Unidentified Chips, Winter Wren, Common Yellowthroat, OVENBIRD, Unknown, Black-capped Chickadee, American Robin, OVENBIRD, Northern Waterthrush, Unknown, Red-eyed Vireo, Unknown.

I suspect these are likely from the same individual, just a slightly different combination.
Very cool!
Sincerely,
Chris T-H
