Observation details
Singing very intermittently from the boggy, wooded margin of the Eighteenmile Creek swamp:(https://maps.app.goo.gl/jMB6B3vtVMcHqq8U9?g_st=ic) 34.604918, -82.809639 This bird was only giving abbreviated song verses, but the quality was the expected choppy series of chips with irregular tempo: "chip..ee-chuppy-chip" (not as smooth and regular in tempo as the several Common Yellowthroats also present and singing for comparison). The bird was first heard well at about 7:00, then it did not sing again until I was joined by Steve Patterson at about 7:30. On that occasion, we listened from just outside the woodline and the bird was probably about 20 yards away and maybe 20-30 feet inside the woods. It gave another series of about 8-10 abbreviated verses before going silent for at least another 30 minutes (until I departed). In the first attached recording, the bird can be heard in the distance at 0:03 and 0:20 between the White-eyed Vireo songs. In second recording, the best verse is just after 0:02; subsequent verses occur throughout the recording but are more abbreviated and largely obscured by other birds.
