Found earlier this morning by Molly McCafferty. Strongly singing adult ... quite rare to hear HASP primary song in Alaska. But particularly rare to hear and record the "secondary" song: "Harris's Sparrow has another, louder, and very striking song which we heard only occasionally. This song was so distinctly different from the usual whistle, and so suggestive of songs of some of the other species of sparrows, that for some time we could not place it. It began with a fine, swiftly descending, rather tuneless whistle or squeal, and closed with a series of ... buzzing, drawled notes ... We noticed that the bird usually gave this song from a high perch and that, after it had sung, it dropped to the ground stealthily or flew off hurriedly." pp 173-174 in: Semple, J.B. and Sutton, G.M., 1932. Nesting of Harris's sparrow (Zonotrichia querula) at Churchill, Manitoba. The Auk 49: 166-183.
