In case anyone is interested in trying to add Tennessee to the list
of states for this spring's Cassin's Sparrow mini-irruption (?),
here's are links to two good 7-minute recordings of the species'
song. The recent birds found in other states have been singing males
engaging in their aerial "skylarking" display; otherwise one would be
EXTREMELY hard pressed to pick one of these drab skulkers out! It
sounds like they have been found in the same general habitat as that
favored by Grasshopper Sparrows.

The song is musical and varied, incorporating some elements
reminiscent of its close cousin the Bachman's Sparrow. These two
samples demonstrate some of the variability with which individual
singers combine these elements. Hearing that song just makes you
feel the prairie wind blowing across your face...
