Too many good choices! I've got to add Swainson's thrush, a flock of sandhills in a blue fall sky, and the spring's first whip-poor-will on a warm evening.

Here's my vote for top 5 bird songs - Wood Thrush, Meadowlark, Robin, White-throated Sparrow and still in the top 5 even though I haven't heard one in decades, Chuck-will's-widow.

I would have loved to have heard them but they were too far to the north. They have to be in the top five bird sounds for me. Name your top five you say. Can't say as I have before, but let's add Barred Owl, Bobolink, Common Grackles on a clear fall day, and Tufted Titmouse on a hot summer's afternoon. Scott Lexington, ky
