Yesterday, while wandering around my Centennial yard in the morning, I heard a sparrow sing a 3 or 4 note song of clear whistles. The bird stayed out of view the entire time and got ever farther away. It reminded me of the clear, strong notes opening a White-throated Sparrow's song. But it sounded most like the Harris's Sparrow's song.
Has anyone encountered a Harris's Sparrow clearly singing its song this time of year, rather than giving the jumbled mess that I've heard a younger bird give a few springs ago? Or are White-throated Sparrow giving partial songs? (But it didn't seem right for that, as it didn't seem like much of a melody. Just a few repetitive notes). Or might be a different bird yet? There are juncos and towhees around, making all kinds of weird noises and partial songs. This was distinct, cleaner, and sweeter in sound. - Jared Del Rosso Centennial, CO -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
