Observation details
Repeated "kip" calls were likened to a cross between a Downy Woodpecker and Song Sparrow (from approximately 25 meters); sharp like a DOWO but with a quality of an agitated Song Sparrow . In fact, a Downy Woodpecker seem to associated with this bird for an extended period of time, following it from the woodlot edge into the corn stubble and across open fields. Images attempt to show primary shape (p10 tapered suggesting adult), and Couch's features including wing morphology where p10 appears >p5 and broad-based billed. Sweet record and a really generous host.
