Listening to a Continent Sing

These two warblers are often heard together throughout the South. First up is the Kentucky warbler's chortling chuuree-chuuree-chuuree-chuuree-chuuree-chuuree-chuuree, followed immediately by the hooded warbler's pure weet-weet-weet-weeto. They seem to share the airwaves, with the four songs of the Kentucky never overlapping the six of the hooded.

Background
