Hi, all,
I also noticed the bend at the beginning as Paul did, and considered VESP.
Looking at a few sources, though, it seems that VESP tends to show more
fine modulation after that initial bend. The call also has a secondary bend
that falls in line with that of WCSP. This structural detail,
Hi Geoff,
Another species to consider is Vesper Sparrow. Your call has the hockey stick
start to the spectrogram that is typical for Vesper and separates it from
White-crowned.
At 74ms it is long for a Clay-colored.

I too wondered about White-crowned Sparrow--prone to the occasional
aberrant flight call, e.g.:

(a bird of known identity).
That said, it looks and sounds like a Clay-colored Sparrow to me!
