In the late afternoon yesterday, I think I heard a Savannah Sparrow singing in
the woods behind my house (which is south of Alexandria).
I know I should be hearing this bird singing from open fields, but it
definitely sounded like this Cornell web site description. During breeding
season, the male sings a three-part song that lasts 2 to 3 seconds: opening
with a few quick notes; then a high, thin, insect-like buzzy middle; and,
ending with a quick lower trill.
Is that possible?
