Nancy Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Does anyone know what bird this might be by listening to its song? From this morning in Charlotte, NC. Can't see it but it's been chirping for quite a while now in the woods behind the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HamRHead Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 The two "smacks" near the end sound like a Northern Cardinal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bird Nuts Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 The repetitive call throughout the video is an American Goldfinch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MerMaeve Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 I agree on both. I've heard that the sound that the AMGO is making is a fledgling call. 2 hours ago, The Bird Nuts said: The repetitive call throughout the video is an American Goldfinch. 3 hours ago, HamRHead said: The two "smacks" near the end sound like a Northern Cardinal. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nancy Posted September 1, 2018 Author Share Posted September 1, 2018 Thanks guys! I saw the goldfinches in the garden and looked up their song which didn't sound like this. Just looked up a fledging goldfinch and it's an exact match. ? They must have gone into the garden to eat (they attack my zinnias and ignore the nyjer feeder) and left the little one in the trees right behind begging for food. i noticed the cardinal chirps after I uploaded. He was probably waiting for me to get out of the way so he could get to the window feeder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
