Amid the din of traffic and construction, I heard the song of the white-throated sparrow, clear as a bell. I found the sparrow high in a (budding!) tree. It wouldn't show me its distinctive white throat or yellow eye patch, but it continued to sing out: "Oh sweet Canada Canada Canada" (or "Old Sam Peabody Peabody Peabody") Here is a link to its song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdMOVrIJXeI
@wendyfrost Thank you, Wendy! I love its song. It reminds me of when I first heard it as a high school student on a class camping trip, so very long ago :)
