I love the energy that Song Sparrows put into their singing. A big breath is taken, the head is thrown back and the song is thrust skyward.
The Song Sparrow song is not as easily learned as that of a Cardinal. It is difficult to paraphrase; usually staring with three sweet emphatic notes, followed by a jumble of up and down phrases. Some describe it as “Maid, Maid, Maid. Put the kettle on.”
The best way to learn is to find a You Tube video and listen many times.
