RE: [cayugabirds-l] Song sparrow and Peepers

My Song Sparrow also arrived today morning and he was singing his heart out. I know it is the same guy because his song seems to be the same. I recorded him among the traffic noise. But will confirm it later with the songs of the previous years that I have recorded. Meena From:
