Hello everyone,
I am extremely new to the whole idea of birding and identifying birds visually,
so identifying by song is even more of a challenge for me. I have heard a bird
several times in the last week and it's driving me nuts trying to identify it.
To newbie me, it sounds like he is singing, "hangover hangover hangover
QUIT." Nine times out of 10 he does 3 "hangovers", sometimes only 2, sometimes
4...and it's always the three syllables. The end "quit" part is pretty shrill,
and I believe it sounds like it ascends.
Again, I apologize for not being better at describing, but I thought I would
take a shot at asking you.
Thanks!
