Media notes

High-pitched tink calls in the beginning, leading up into a flight song at 0:10 (although apparently given while perched, though bird not observed while giving it.) After this the bird started giving very soft, typical songs interspersed with calls, some possibly from a second bird. More tink calls and soft song in second cut, then agitated twitter and wing noise at 3:52 as a Song Sparrow apparently chased it out of the bush and into the grass.
