Bird song ID

10 years ago

Hi. My brother in law is an avid birder and needs help with identification of a bird. I have recorded it's song which I have saved as two mp3 files. The bird is nesting in a extremely dense hedge of white cedars on his farm in Northern WI. He has spent countless hours trying to spot it, but has been only able to hear it's song. Anyone want to give it a try? Thanks!

There are websites to which you can upload these types of recordings.

But, you'd have to register, etc, etc....

Hi! Sorry that I have not replied until now. I have been SOO nusy in my garden and in others gardens! LOL I have several Amur Maples in my backyard that are doing wonderful! In this area they seem to do better than in other places west of I-15. I have mine in soil that I classify as "Even heavier clay" LOL I have tried to did into the soil to plant hosta and ferns and other shade loving plants, but I can not get a little hand shovel to go in more than an inch or so. Daylillies do wonderful in just about any area. Stella d'oros are stunning when planted with a contrasting color such as purples and oranges. You might want to let your neighbors know that their water is running off into your yard, this tells me that they are over watering. They might want to cut back watering times to intervals... say they water for 20 minutes, but ten or more minutes the water is running off.... Suggest to them to water in the morning for five minutes, then have their sprinklers on a curcuit and each station water for those five minutes. Then repeat the cycle 4 times.... They still get their 20 minutes of watering in, but it all goes to their lawn.... not yours. I would love to take a look at your yard and give you some pointers. You can email me @ jkeamommy@yahoo.com Have an awesome day! SongBirdMommy :-)

Absolutely Lesser Goldfinch. By the way, I don't know how much time you spent looking at warbler pics, but you would have saved yourself that effort by noting the bill shape: warblers have much thinner bills. Bill shape and size is often a good clue to point you in the right direction; bright colour patterns you'll likely remember without trying, but the bill really needs to be looked at (unless we're talking about a toucan or spoonbill etc). Just a friendly hint. -O-

It was one of the few spots worth watching I thought it was interesting that they had the live full orchestra playing who were in a building down the street and the music was piped in

It's a beautiful morning here in Houston a bit cold but sunny. In spite of the rains, wind, and cold days my plants have done well. Let's get out and see what we can do.
