Yep. White-throated Sparrow sounds likely. Plus, if it had been a blue jay,
it is probable that scpjmartin would have seen it.
Yard birds are my nemesis. I can tell a Louisiana Waterthrush from a
Swainson's Warbler, and recognize a Least Bittern or an American Bittern
without a problem, but half the time I can't tell the difference between a
Carolina Wren and a Northern Cardinal, or remember the difference between a
Tufted Titmouse and a Carolina Chickadee.
Thanks.

Ok. I'm going to try this again. The first email wouldn't send, because the
attachment was too big.
Offhand, I don't recognize the bird (but I don't get around much). Could be a
blue jay with an odd mimic song, but I doubt it. I did play with the file,
convert it to a strictly audio file, and amplify the sound to make it easier to
hear, in case anyone else wants to take a listen. Audio file attached.
[Note: In order to reduce the size of the file for sending, I cut all but one
of two relevant sections of the file.]

Can someone please identify this bird song from Moore County. It's the longest
and loudest of the birds heard.
