RE:[cayugabirds-l] Cardinal Song
Although Northern Cardinals are known to have lived to be 15 years old, adults have only a 60% chance of surviving from year to year. I suspect you have a new bird on the block.

Instead of singing kiddo kiddo he seem to be singing a different tune. So I am wondering if this means something else. I know one female from my area presumably his mate was lost to a Cooper's Hawk as meal. So I am not sure if he is advertising for a female and territory or he is singing the usual song. I wanted to record the song but at that time my heater was blasting with full force. This year it is on most of the mornings due to really cold temperatures. May be tomorrow I will give it a try. Does anyone know of the different tunes cardinal use for different purposes? I know once some one gave a talk on cardinal songs but I believe he did not touch this subject.

[cayugabirds-l] cardinal song
After listening to a myriad of Macaulay Libarry recordings of Carolina Wren and Baltimore Oriole, I still think what I heard was a Cardinal. The C Wren has a much qucker tempo - the song I head was about a second for each upward arpeggio, or 3 seconds for the whole 9 note song. I am going to return to the location and try to confirm. -- asher -Never play it the same way once. -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
[cayugabirds-l] Cardinal song?
Yesterday I heard a song, a thrice repeated ascending arpeggio, roughly a musical perfect 4th between each: g c f, g c f, g c f (just to give an idea). This was downtown, S Albany St a block north of the traffic circle. They are whistling or piping sounds, quite musical. Fairly easy to imitate by whistling. I think this may be a N. Cardinal, but have been unable to find an example anywhere on the 'net.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Cardinal song?
Pitchwise yes, but the call I heard yesterday featured 3 distinct and separate and slower tempo tones, not the glissed over middle tone on the recording you referenced.

Hi Everybody, The LNS 112697 that Don refers to here is a recording archived at the Macaulay Library (of Natural Sounds) at the Lab of Ornithology. You can access this recording by going to macaulaylibrary.org. Next to the field 'Search recordings by species', click on the '+' (ie the plus sign.) In the drop-down you will see a field labeled 'Catalog Number'. Type in 112697, and you will be presented with the recording. Our site is pretty cool. I hope you'll investigate it further.

[cayugabirds-l] cardinal song
Folks have suggested C Wren and B Oriole, but don't think so. This bird was in the lower branches of a tree I drove under, and the song was 9 evenly spaced and equal length notes, like the third phrase in Taps ( *From the lake, from the hills, from the sky*), but more than a major 3rd between the second and third note of each arpeggio. Not the typical piping of the oriole, but the C Wren is a possibility. -- asher -Never play it the same way once. -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
