I've heard Hooded Warblers sing three different songs in the Shenandoah.  

First and most often is the one on the Peterson Field Guide CDs.  

Second was an alternate song maybe heard 10% of the time, not on the CDs, but frequent enough that you recognized it after a while.

Third was a song I heard in only one time and place, but several Hoodeds were singing it.  I knew it wasn't a song I had ever heard before, I had no idea what it was, so I stood pretty still, moving just a few steps in either direction, for half an hour, before I finally saw what was singing.  Then I stayed around a bit more, because there was more than one bird singing, and I saw the second Hooded singing the same song.  

Lots to learn if we give ourselves enough time.
