Index of Subjects Hi Eleanor I've spent quite some time on a couple of occasions hunting down odd sounding birds that sounded to me at first to be possibly a wren specie. Only to flush or spot juv. Song Sparrows It wasn't until I was able to watch one (many since) of these Song Sp. sing this mess of notes and pieces of songs that I connected this early fall voice/song tuning to Juv. Song Sparrows. This may be another good candidate to watch for.
