 Subject: Daniel Boone's Ohio bird riddle

The old English vernacular "sparrow" just means a small bird so which
little bird would start singing a lot when disturbed?  And be inhabiting
clearings, not woodlands, but cleared areas that would be devoted to maize,
beans, pumpkins, etc.?  Certainly not a Louisiana Waterthrush; I would
instead suggest the Carolina Wren
