Observation details
Heard singing from the Hidden Pond Trail to the forest patch on the hillside about 600 ft to the east, so walked over to the area (40.317505, -80.103895), but didn't hear the bird initially. Did a couple of bouts of brief Baltimore Oriole playback (what I originally thought the bird was) to try to better document it, and the bird responded with singing. Got a few recordings of the song, but the bird flew off before we could get our eyes on it. Just saw the silhouette of the bird flying off. Dropped slightly from the singing branch and made a direct quick-flapping flight through the subcanopy. eBird reviewer pointed me toward this being a Fox Sparrow.
