Thanks for your vote of confidence but never feel my opinion is the=20
last word. I reviewed some Song Sparrow and Bewick's Wren recordings I =
have from CA. The mystery bird matches my Song Sparrow sounds almost=20
perfectly on the introductory 2 notes and some of the following notes. =
My Bewick's Wren songs from CA sound a little less broad band and=20
husky. This sounds like a Song Sparrow to me, although both species=20
probably are found along the river there. Good luck!
