Matt,
Field Sparrows sing with accelerating chips. Rather than "dry", as in Chipping
Sparrow's song, each chip is more musical and usually down-slurred. Given
that, the whole series of chips that constitute the song would be heard as on
the same pitch. Explained differently, each down-slurred chip is on the same
pitch. The song begins slowly and accelerates progressively to a blur at the
end. There is no other song like this, that I can think of.
