What bird is making this song - Sudbury, MA (1 Viewer)

[Phiff1]

On 6/22/2016. Recorded near a pond and a small brook. I'm guessing this is an obvious species but for some reason I can't place who would be making this song. I keep thinking it is some type of wren, but perhaps a sparrow of some sort?:

thanks in advance, Chris

It's a song sparrow.

Ah ok, was hoping for something that I don't hear so often! thanks much

No problem. Their songs are extremely variable and now there are young ones testing their voices. Frankly it took me quite a few hearings before the light went on for me.

Now I don't feel quite so inept, thanks again!
