Bird Identification, Please!

Okay, guys, my entire life--well, since I was about 5 or 6 years old and lying in bed with the chicken pox--this has been my favourite bird song, but I've never been able to figure out what kind of bird it is. I once tried humming it to someone, but my humming was so bad they didn't have a clue. Someone must know, I'm sure it must be quite common and prolific, given that I hear it every spring/summer.

The video is a mere 5 seconds, just turn up your volume!


And as for continued signs of Spring, here are the tulips that were just in bud on Friday, snapped again this morning, when I was out and about.
 
 
Here's hoping for a crazy-free week. At least the full moon has passed.  :-p

Hmm... I don't know what kind of bird that is. It really caught Tabi's attention though! :)

:-) I think!! It's that distinctive whistling sound and it's from Canada!

Take care

Thanks Old Kitty, yes, it is indeed a white-throated sparrow! Finally, after 40+ years, I know what it is. LOL.

The Furries: That was pretty darned cute, but not quite the right bird. Haha.

Good work, Old Kitty!

I thought I'd phone my brother tonight and play it for him. He was, in years past, a conservation officer, so I was sure he ought to know.

The tulips are lovely. I have some too, buried in the snow bank...maybe in the next couple of weeks?

And you were right, it was my white balance on the shots of the boys. I was guessing because I didn't want to recalibrate with the gray card.

Have a wonderful week!
