The Field Sparrow is a small warm-coloured brown bird found in tallgrass priaries, and old fields with shrubs and small trees.
Their song starts off with slow, repeated notes, then accelerates to the point where it almost blurs into a solid note. This rhythm is akin to a ping-pong ball being dropped onto a hard surface.
Learning to identify birdsong by ear can be a satisfying skill for anyone who has interest in birds and nature. In this podcast, birdsong recordist Rob Porter introduces you to the songs found in various habitats across North America.
