[birdky] Re: help identifying by song

I agree that it's a carolina wren.  Someone also described the song as 
"cheeseburger, cheeseburger, cheeseburger."  

I recommend "Birding by Ear" by Walton and Lawson.  It groups similar sounding 
bird songs and then compares and contrasts them.

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!
