An Audio Guide to Identifying New England Birds By Their Sounds

Species Comparison - Black-capped Chickadee &  Eastern Phoebe
Our first lesson will compare the Black-capped chickadee (song) with the Eastern phoebe (song).
 
These two species have simple vocalizations that are relatively easy to recognize and remember, but many beginner birders accidently confused the sweet-whistled song of the Black-capped chickadee (song) for that of the Eastern phoebe that has a more raspy song (song). 
 
We'll learn about each species' vocalizations separately, and then compare them directly.
 
We'll begin with the Black-capped chickadee.
