Trying to identify bird call (audio link) (1 Viewer)

Hi all,

I was at Middle Creek Wildlife Reserve in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania this past weekend and heard the bird call I recorded and posted below. It sounds so familiar, but I just can't place it.

For context, we were walking along a trail that ran between a dense wooded area and a field of tall grass. This bird was perched somewhere in a tree in the wooded area... unfortunately, we could only hear it. It's driving me crazy.

Thanks in advance and hope someone can help!

Sounds just like a Field Sparrow to me!

Hi, and welcome to the forum.

Your recording is definitely a Field Sparrow, a fairly common bird at Middle Creek WMA.
