I may have told this story before but I will repeat it relative to the recent
posts regarding the Song Sparrow.? The Song Sparrows in our yard, when they
complete the whole song, will clearly end with? "Chris-to-pher!":? I recently
was trying very hard to not think about my son, Christopher and wouldn't you
know every Song Sparrow for several days was completing the song with
"Christopher!"
I also am the one that asked for help or suggestions regarding a rather
metallic like call coming from our grass field.? I had lots of suggestions and
researched every one with on-line audio? services.? Nothing matched in my
opinion.? But I have watched? and listened very carefully and I am quite
certain it is a ending call connected with the Bobolink's song.? It sounds like
a strumming on a banjo and it has more than one syllable. Just this evening
they cut the grass in the field so the Bobolinks may be gone for awhile.? Maybe
it is a dialect picked up by the resident Bobolinks here.
