Listening to a Continent Sing

Daytime singing of an eastern wood-pewee, with two to four pee-a-wee songs followed by a single wee-ooo, only 6-7 songs per minute. He sings at perhaps 1/5th the pace of dawn, and now with only two instead of all three songs.

You can hear his energy at dawn in KY-144

Background

Red-eyed vireo, blue-gray gnatcatcher, American crow, ovenbird, pileated woodpecker drums (e.g., 0:43).
