Media notes

Flight calls, chips, and uncrystallized song from a bird in frosty vegetation in a wet ditch. Likely same bird as in previous recordings.

Observation details

*Uncommon but great spot for them. Together in ditch just south of main track behind buildings. Giving flight calls, chips, and soft uncrystallized song, as Drew recorded a few days ago. Occasionally popped into corn field or goldenrod to forage, but mostly in deeper grass. Photos and recording.
