ID from call and behavior? - Central PA
I'm new to birding and am just starting to learn the calls (at least I know most of the birds in my state by sight). I was out walking a saw a brown bird with heavy streaking, about the size of a House Finch (a bit hard to tell in the branches). He was a happy fellow and kept repeating the same call over and over: a loud, clear, TWEET-TWEET-TWEET-TWEET-TWEEEEEET. The first four were sharp and fast, and the last one was like the sound you would make in your throat if you would imitate the neighing of a horse. Each time during the call he thew his head back, and on the last vibrating tweet, his whole body shook!
Any help here?
