Sounds like a Carolina Wren to me. This would be the more likely bird to
be repeated singing at this time also.

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!
