This is what I heard when I was growing up in New Jersey 55 years ago near the swamp and cattails. I recognized it right away. I so miss those beautiful songs
it is so neat that human voice tone and pitch evolved from mimicking birdsong, and how we use practically the same genes to speak as birds do to call... now that's co-existence ;D
Hi Garth, Another Beautiful and helpful video. Thanks! ?- At about 1:10 in the video your swamp sparrow seems to be singing amongst a sea of old blossoms, galls, eggs sacks... ??? Any idea what that plant was(looks willow-ish), or what those gray/brown balls are? Best! ~Luke Cannon
Oh he puffs up when he sings! Cute!

They look a little like the Chipping Sparrows
Does kind of birds live in my back yard.
Anyone know the name of the bird in the background at the beginning doing the loud call?

What is the bird in the background at the beginning????
The birds in the background are very distracting.
