Download the Recording

Seven daytime bee-bzzzzzzz songs of the blue-winged warbler, each song about a second and a half in duration. Notice how quiet the background is compared to the cacophony of the dawn chorus.

You can hear the dawn singing of a blue-winged warbler in VA-73

Background

Ovenbird, hooded warbler, American crow, eastern towhee, red-bellied woodpecker, and a lone fly.
