We thought subscribers to the Virginia Bird Listserv might find this article 
interesting.  The introduction explains:  "While singing the same songs as your 
neighbours may sound harmonious, research conducted at Queen's University 
Biological Station (QUBS) suggests that song-sharing amongst song sparrow 
populations is actually an aggressive behavior, akin to flinging insults back 
and forth."  The entire article can be found at:
