chipperatl 166 Posted June 12, 2019 There were Field Sparrows also. I was in Bird Sanctuary, old-growth next to several open fields with large fence rows filled with various trees/bushes. I see some Field Sparrow calls on Xeno-canto. They typically start down around 3K hz and rise to around 5K hz. There are some Prairie that are more musical and start at around 4k hz, and rise to almost 6k hz. My recording starts around 4k hz and rises just over 5k hz. I know it lacks the buzzy typical of the Prairie. Just wondering if maybe this was one of the more musical ones. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John Landon 77 Posted June 13, 2019 Prairie yes. Like a field sparrow given a slide whistle to toot. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chipperatl 166 Posted June 13, 2019 Thanks for confirmation. This is gives us a first eBird record for my county. Hopefully it sticks around for others. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chipperatl 166 Posted June 16, 2019 Any one else have any thoughts? A couple of eBird reviewers contacted me with some concern about it not being quite right. I found some Xeno-Canto and eBird recordings that were close. There was a FISP about 1/4 mile away that had a slight rise, albeit at 1k hz lower.
