Adele 1 Posted July 19 Hello Whatbird Community. I am having difficulty identifying this bird. Sorry for the background noise. You will hear the song at the beginning and at the end of the recording. I am wondering if it is Bobolink which is uncommon for my area of Maryland. The habitat was woods but near a pond and a the Chesapeake Bay. I hear a Robin note in the song, but otherwise closer to the Bobolink. There are Red Winged Blackbirds singing after this bird. Thanks for your help. 20190630_083855.wav Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Charlie Spencer 1,329 Posted July 24 Welcome! Sorry for the delay! For what it's worth, it sounds enough to me like this one: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Bobolink But let's definitely wait on someone who knows better. I've only seen and heard a Bobolink in the field once, this spring. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Bird Nuts 1,816 Posted July 24 It's not a Bobolink. I'm thinking it's a House Finch, but something's bothering me about it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adele 1 Posted July 24 Thanks for trying to ID it for me. Someone has suggested it's an Orchard Oriole, that might be it. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
