    Bird song recording. 2 am, Southern New Hampshire

    Attachment: Bird Song 1.mp3

    Hello folks. I arrived home at 1:30am to quite a racket in a tree by the window to my apartment. I tried to spot the bird with a flashlight but was unable to do so. I was however, able to record it's song with my iPhone voice recorder. I was wondering if any of you guys could help me identify it. I made an MP3 of the song and attached it to this post (at least I think I did). I am guessing this is a common bird but I don't recall hearing anything like it. It makes several different sounds in the 35 seconds of the clip. Thanks for you time!

    It's a Mockingbird.  Unmated males often sing through the night in summer.  

    Can we ID all the sounds?  Sounds like Carolina Wren, Eastern Towhee (I think), Northern Flicker,  Herring(?) Gull, then 2 I don't know.

    Thanks! That's cool. Thanks for the info. I am sure I hear them all the time but never really paid attention. This was so close to my window that it was loud enough to make me listen. Thanks again!
