Hello, I've been listening to this bird song for 10 months now and I'm having difficulty finding which bird makes it. I have probably tried a hundred different Google searches and YouTube videos but without much luck. I normally use Cornell's Bird ID app but it's easier for identifying birds you have already seen. Attached is the beautiful song the bird makes. I live in the suburbs of Chicago and my backyard is a forest. Please help me identify it! Shan Bird Song 4-2018 (MP3).mp3

Hi all, I reasoned this to be a song sparrow, because it looks like one to me by also by elimination, since I know it's not an American Tree, White-throated or House Sparrow (the other wintering sparrows in NW Vermont). But then I didn't consider a Savannah Sparrow, so I changed it to sparrow sp. until I feel certain. I still think it's a Song Sparrow due to redder coloring, lack of any light/yellow around eyebrow or lores, but want to get other opinions. https://ebird.org/view/checklist/S42752337 Thank you, Graham

Hello, I live in north west Texas and I've been hearing this bird call in the forest behind my house lately. I've been comparing it to lots of other different calls and I can't seem to identify it. Help would be greatly appreciated ezgif-1-a6a2503c61.mp4

Every time I look at these I seem to change my mind. I was thinking one was Swamp and the other was Song, but then I see that some of them seem to have identical faces despite the stripes. So I started thinking White-Throated but I don't see a wingbar. Can someone please help ? Thank you https://imgur.com/a/w0V7O

Hi, I was wondering, why some birds respond to their own call and some birds careless? For example if I play White Crowned Sparrow call they quickly gather around with curiosity while it does not work for Black Capped Chickadee for example. Does this have to do with being territorial or something? Thank you.

Hello! This bird call has been causing me problems for a while now! I first heard it in the open-world, fantasy video game Skyrim, and dismissed it as a fictional call. But last summer I heard it while on an evening walk (I live in central Ohio), and again on a different day. I also heard it again about two weeks ago. I work under the National Audubon Society, and none of my coworkers can identify it! Any help would be greatly appreciated! The attached MP2 has three recorded instances of the call from Skyrim. Cheers! SkyrimBirdID.mp3

Hello all, This bird song has been driving me crazy trying to identify it for months now. It's a four note song, ( G-E... F-D) two short notes, a pause, and then the second two, similar to a cuckoo but with two different notes and a very different vocal tone. Whatever it is doesn't always do the second two notes, sometimes it repeats the first set. The tone of song is almost mechanical and more of a whistle than a chirp. For referance, I live in Northeast PA in the mountains in a very wooded area. I would try to record the bird itself, but I can currently hear about 20 different bird calls plus spring peepers. This area has tons of birds, most of which I can identify by sight, but I don't think I've seen this bird, just hearing it constantly. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thank you for your time.

Hello! I was outside in the backyard this morning around 7:45am when I heard this unfamiliar call. I have a video recording here where you can clearly hear the call/song three times. Unfortunately, I was never able to put my eye on the bird. I'm in Sacramento, California and near the Sacramento River. There are plenty of oaks and large trees around the house. Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi all, my mom inadvertently captured this birdsong near her condo pool in metro Atlanta the morning of July 4. Says she's been hearing it and wondering what it was. Can anybody help? The only calls I'm rock-solid on are cardinals :-P Thanks! http://tinypic.com/r/20r1t1c/9

We have been unable to spot the bird who sings this song. This was recorded this morning in Vermont. I was thinking it was just a strange song from a common bird, but I wanted to know what you guys think. I have another recording (from farther away) from a few days ago if you want to hear that one too.

I came across this birdsong while I was hiking the Cerro Chato trail near La Fortuna and Arenal Volcano. Could anyone please help me identify this bird? I wasn't able to spot it but I captured the song. Thanks! Voice 004.m4a

I would love some help with this song, please. I'm in dry oak woodlands at 4500' at Ruby, AZ in Santa Cruz county, close to the Mexico border. What you will hear is not the song itself (I haven't a way to record it in the field) but me trying to imitate it - it's not a bad imitation. It's a cadence of about 8-10 whistled notes, evenly spaced, smoothly descending. Rather a similar pattern to a Canyon wren, but it's not a Canyon wren - it's a bigger sound, more of a whistle than a tweet, probably from a bigger bird. It calls during daytime, usually from a wooded ridge or slope. Here goes: https://clyp.it/bdhex1ag

I live in northern Alabama. There is a bird in the tall trees behind my home that sings in the morning and evening. I have not seen it. But here is an audio recording. Sounds like "da, We-cha, We-cha, We-cha," repeated at 5 second intervals. I have tried two different bird song ID apps, but neither was successful. Please help me identify this bird. Thank you, Tom Irvine Madison, AL

Hi... my first time on this forum. I live in the mountains of western North Carolina. This morning I heard a beautiful bird call that I was unfamiliar with. The bird repeated a call of four distinct, clear notes. If higher numbers represent higher notes, the pattern was 4,2,3,1... or, perhaps, 4,2,3,2 (I don't completely trust my memory!). This pattern was repeated a number of times. Species suggestions?

Im very new to this, but I was wondering if someone could identify this bird for me by its sound. I always hear it near where i live and want to know its name. The sound is very feint in the background but you can hear it if you listen close. Thanks Dayzneigboorhoodbird.m4a

Do Mockingbirds Share a Unique Song of Their Own as a Species?
FineFeatheredFriends posted a topic in Birds and Birding
Hi, Forum. Does anyone know if Mockingbirds have a song of their own? When reading up on Mockingbirds, the answer to this seems unclear. So, for instance, when I open my Merlin Bird ID app on my phone, search for "Northern Mockingbird" and play the "SONG" files, is this *thee* song that all Mockingbirds share conspecifically or this a recording of one bird's unique song(s)? -Peter -
Hi, I'm new to birdwatching and my neighborhood has a particular bird who's always singing, but I never see! Fortunately I was able to record this call and response about twenty minutes ago. https://soundcloud.com/user67975808/unknown-bird-song Can anyone identify this bird? Thank you.

We live in midcoast Maine, in a wooded area near a pond. In the summer, I hear this bird first thing in the morning and the last thing in the evening. It sounds like a flute -- the song varies every time, is usually 5 - 7 notes and is just beautifully liquid. I never see the singer, due to the many trees. Hope someone can help identify this bird for me!

Can you help me ID this bird by its song? It's been hanging around for a few weeks now, but I've never been able to catch a glimpse of it. The audio recording was taken on June 20 in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio (44221). It's in a residential neighborhood with lots of mature trees. The bird seems to stay hidden in the trees, and doesn't come to the backyard feeder. It's very vocal, though. Can you help? Thanks!New Recording 5.m4a

I'm trying to identify the sing-songy bird that's in the background of this audio recording. The recording was taken June 20 in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio (44221). The bird has been very vocal for a few weeks now, but stays hidden in trees. I have not been able to visually catch a glimpse of it. It's in a residential neighborhood with lots of mature trees. Can you help? Thanks! New Recording 5.m4a

Hello Birders, Just spent a couple weeks in Maine on the coast. Waaaaay up north, about an hour north of Acadia, near Jonesport/Beals. I never got a visual ID on this sucker. Would love to know who gave this evening call. Same bird has a slightly different morning call. Usually sang this one out around 6pm. I did manage to get an audio clip of its evening song. I've spent the past three hours on several great birding sites listening to hundreds of calls and songs that were recorded in Maine and I can't find this little ditty anywhere. Any help much appreciated!!!! Many thanks in advance! DR0000_0052_What Bird Are You2.mp3

Hello fellow birders, Did not see bird at all, but it was on a Doug Fir tree. I do not have any visual features of that singer. Sound recorded in March 2015 Washington state, Monroe.
