Song Sparrow <))

Song Sparrow (Melospiza melodia)

The Sparrow's song is variable but has a distinctive pattern and tonal quality. It usually consists of a couple
of introductory notes followed by a slightly husky trill or warble. Here are twelve songs by eight birds.
An individual may sing six or more songs and may share one to several songs with the bird in the neighboring territory.
The first song heard is the one this bird was singing.
