Jonathan,
For making spectrograms Audacity works fine and it is free. Cornell
University also has Raven-Lite that is free.
I know that Raven will allow you to export the spectrogram, not certain
about Audacity. If you have a screen capture application or better yet if
you are on a Mac, you can capture that portion of the screen that you want
once you have the spectrogram displayed.

Here are a group of Gray Catbird recordings some of which sound like your
recording. There is no grantee that they are all correctly identified so use
caution.
See:
http://xeno-canto.org/browse.php?query=Gray%20Catbird&pagenumber=&order=taxo
nomy&view=3
I use Adobe Audition 3.0 for all my sound editing as well as spectrographs
and it's the only one I am familiar with. For reproducing the spectrograms I
photograph my screen using a digital camera. There are probably better ways
to do this but it quick and easy for me.
Enjoy the Xeno-canto recordings and let me know what you think.
Jim
