The reason I was at this site was to secure a Swamp Sparrow.  I wanted
to throw together a set of calls that even a lot of BBS birders get
wrong without habitat info.

The swamp is often confused with the junco, chipping, pine warbler,
and a couple others.  What I believe you hear as the junco is a
chipping sparrow, also with a field in the background.  The sound I
can not id ends ultrasonic.  I do not believe that a junco has the
equipment to go over 20,000 cycles into ultrasonic.

Dark-eyed junco or Slate-backed junco at
