Species in Contrast: Chipping Sparrow & Orange-crowned Warbler

A classic birding-by-ear problem is having two or more species in the same area that have similar songs. The Chipping Sparrow and the Orange-crowned Warbler are two such species: two of many that are infamous for their cryptic trills. First, the Chipping Sparrow has a straight trill with a consistent spacing between each “note”. In contrast, this Orange-crowned Warbler’s trill slows down as it progresses, and is not very consistent in quality. For this species in contrast episode I’ll be sharing my recordings of Orange-crowned Warbler & Chipping Sparrow from the Barrier Lake Forestry Trails, the Fullerton Trail, Prairie View, and the Sibbald Flats.
