Bird call ID in Delaware, United States (1 Viewer)

[Mittens205]

Hello everyone, I am currently taking an ornithology class and my class was assigned a recording project where we have to record five different species of birds. We recorded this bird in the last week of April but no one in our group knows what it is. This recording was taken in Newark, Delaware in a wooded area near an apartment complex. Unfortunately we did not see the bird. Any help would be appreciated.

It has been a while since I heard one, but maybe a Blue Jay.

Thank you! I just listened to some more blue jay calls and it sounds very similar.

The bird is a Carolina Wren, often heard before it's seen (and often not seen at all!).

Agree with Carolina Wren.

Another agreement for Carolina Wren

Yes, I have the joy of listening to these Carolina Wrens all day when I'm at home.

As do I.

Thank you all! Most everyone seems to agree that it is a Carolina wren instead. Thanks!

Good luck with your class (and welcome to the Forum)!

Been even longer since I heard a Carolina Wren; I'm sure the consensus is right.

Thank you! Finals are coming so I need all the luck I can get! It was a very fun and interesting class though!

Ornithologically speaking, the Carolina Wren is, in this instance, undoubtedly the identity of the bird that we have just enjoyed listening to.
