The best description I ever read is that the Song's call note sounds like the bark of a teeny dog. I find this a very good description and very easy for people to retain. It is the easiest way to distinguish a Song by sound. Their "seet" notes can be very variable and similar to other sparrow's "seets". I still get "taken" by some Song's singing if they are doing a really wild garbled song. I get accused by friends all the time of saying "But that sound is SO distinctive" but that tiny "bark" TRULY is! Bonnie Ott
