Joey Posted October 2, 2010 Report Posted October 2, 2010 I got woken up to the most beautiful bird singing the other day. I put my camera down by the window and just let it play for awhile, which made me realize I need to stain and paint my bay window, but that's another matter Anyhow, I have listened to countless North American bird calls on the internet for the past few days and cannot figure out what bird it is. Can you give it a listen and let me know if you know what bird this is. I have not heard it before or since. It is a higher pitched whistle that goes higher and lower. Here is the link and turn it up please: Thanks alot for your help. Joey
vinnimon Posted October 2, 2010 Report Posted October 2, 2010 Sounds like a robin bird,compared it too another,pretty similiar. But Im no expert!
kickingfrog Posted October 2, 2010 Report Posted October 2, 2010 It's tybo whistling because he is now happily married.
Leecher Posted October 2, 2010 Report Posted October 2, 2010 Sorry Jo-Anne but can't figure it out.... it's a small bird that I'm sure
kickingfrog Posted October 2, 2010 Report Posted October 2, 2010 There are a few (2 at least) birds that I hear. The one is a chickadee. The other may be a chickadee as well.

cynmar Posted October 2, 2010 Report Posted October 2, 2010 Yep there 's a chickadee in there but I would suggest it may be a goldfinch or housefinch. Both have kind of the same high pitched whistle at the bird feeder by the front door. Bill
Joey Posted October 2, 2010 Author Report Posted October 2, 2010 Okay thanks for the replies. I now think it is the golden crowned sparrow. Appreciate the help. Joey
Cookslav Posted October 3, 2010 Report Posted October 3, 2010 The one is a chickadee. Agreed....totally a chickadee in there. Got a few around here as well.
Muskieman Posted October 4, 2010 Report Posted October 4, 2010 I can hear a Chickadee or two, a Robin a Grackle... but I think that the singing bird with the ♪♫ is a common Finch , I heard a similar one yesterday, my backyard was full of them , it reminded me of ♪♫Silent Night♫♪ also found this on You Tube Randy
dave524 Posted October 4, 2010 Report Posted October 4, 2010 Okay thanks for the replies. I now think it is the golden crowned sparrow. Appreciate the help. Joey I've got a ton of White Throated Sparrows just recently arrived at my feeder on fall migration, they are very similar to the Golden Crowned Sparrows which are a western species. Most are the tan striped variation this season or maybe just immatures. http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/White-throated_Sparrow/id They have stopped here for a week of so everyone of the almost 30 years I've been here, got to be one of the signs of the spring and fall for me , also get a wave of White Crowned Sparrows just a little later.
