I was kayaking at Green River Reservoir today. At one point, I heard a bird song that I did not recognize. I turned on Merlin and it immediately came back with Clay Colored Sparrow. My husband's phone did the same. The habitat makes the CCSP seem unlikely to me so I am wondering, are there any other birds that sound similar? Unfortunately, the banks of the reservoir did not allow me to get out in an attempt to see the bird so all I have is Merlin.
Don't worry, I will not eBird the CCSP as I use Merlin as confirmation rather than primary identifier. Just wondering if there is a bird that sounds similar that would be more likely.
