Eight songs from a pine warbler during the dawn chorus. How instructive, as he chips between songs, just as a good Setophaga warbler should, and he sings with nice variety, too, offering three different songs in this short selection.

Listen carefully and you'll hear the following sequence of songs: A B C A B C B C.

Background

Chipping sparrow in dawn song, red-eyed vireo, yellow-breasted chat
