Media notes
https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Lark_Sparrow/sounds SONGS Male Lark Sparrows sing a melodious jumble of clear notes and trills interspersed with harsh buzzes and churrs. The song generally starts with a short buzz followed by 1–3 clear notes, then a few notes at a lower pitch, and finally a clear trill; they often switch up the order of the notes. Listen for the short buzzes within the jumble to help identify the song. Look for them singing from elevated perches including fence posts, shrubs, and telephone wires.
