Index of Subjects Hi Nancy, This song is the flight song of the Ovenbird. It's more typically heard at twilight hours, but I've recorded it in the middle of the night mixed in with the night flight calls of migrants. It is a complex song and highly variable. The typical pattern is a series of chip notes to start, snatches of the standard ground song of the Ovenbird, and ending with some vireo like musical notes. I've also seen it include calls that are almost identical to the flight call of the Canada Warbler. The song you recorded is 1-2 seconds shorter than most flight songs of the Ovenbird and may be due to the lateness of the season.

This is an AudioMoth recording of a song picked up at 3am in a forested cattail swamp. Only once during the 10min recording period and not heard on other recordings that day (1am, 5am and 7am) The length and repeats make me think mockingbird rather than catbird. Others? https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/245772881 Thanks, Nancy D
