Bewick's wren, ten songs in a little under a minute, a song every five to six seconds. This is the third song type from this male.

Here are the four different Bewick's wren songs that I recorded at my favorite Finley refuge location: OR-355, OR-356, OR-357, OR-358.

Background

California quail (especially at 0:29), Swainson's thrush, western scrub-jay.
