Observation details
I heard a song that I did not recognize; it was not the usual trilling song of DEJU, rather an almost warbler-like song. Even though the bird was very close, Merlin was confused as well and struggled to ID it, naming several incorrect sparrow species including VESP. Based off of habitat I began to wonder if I was hearing a variant song of CHSP. When I played CHSP tape this DEJU came up and continued singing it's unusual song. I don't believe I have ever heard DEJUs sing like this before, so it was very intriguing experience for me and definitely a learning opportunity. Uploading recording to Macaulay Library hopeful that my contribution will enable Merlin to be more successful in the future.
