Today I thought I heard an Eastern Meadowlark twice, once from the field next to the parking lot at Shelburne Town Beach and later along Whalley Road, Charlotte. Halfway home I realized that Brown Creepers may be singing now, and their song has somewhat the same pattern. If a creeper sings the fourth song here https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Eastern_Meadowlark/sounds (the one recorded 8/16/64) it could sound like a meadowlark, especially to someone who’s either driving or chatting.
