  • The Music of Nature proudly presents "Song Sparrow," a video portrait featuring several singing Song Sparrows, gathered in the countryside around Ithaca, New York. Song Sparrows are winter residents here and their bright carols are often heard on cold, clear mornings in late winter. Males continue singing well into the summer months.

    Most of the time you hear birds that you don't see, so it's important to understand that you could be listening to maybe 4 or 5 different songs, and be listening to the same bird. When I was kid, I didn't realize this, but I eventually figured it out by observing robbins (they're quite common on Long Island), and I noticed that robbins have at least 4 or 5 different songs. Song sparrows are also common here, but, for whatever reason, they seem to be hiding whenever they sing (possibly because of their smaller size), so I wasn't as sure about the song and visual association. This video solved that problem. The songs this bird is singing on this video are songs I'm quite familiar with- I hear them all the time; have suspected they were from sparrows, and now I know they ARE- thanks!.

    My dad and I actually saved a song sparrow trapped in our deer net. It was tangled inside who knows how. I remember me holding it by it's feet with my fingers and my dad carefully cutting it away from the net. Afterward, instead of flying away, it stuck with us, atop my dad's finger. He said I could keep the bird if I found a big enough box. My family recycles a lot so there wasn't a big enough box so we let the bird go free. I remember when my dad held it to the ground so it could run off but instead it stayed on his finger. It even went on my finger and let us pet it. That bird was a song sparrow. I saved that Song Sparrow song 2 or 3 years ago (probably 2), but I still hear it's call. I wonder if that bird's offspring is calling me.
