This bird is eluding me. i finally saw it- most of it. I think it is a sparrow or sparrow like- brownish- whitish breast, two faint wing bars- couldn't see head very well. up in the branches of flowering tree song three notes evenly spaced and pitched and then it has the notes get faster and faster like someone dropped ping pong ball and then got lower and lower with the hand so bounces were speeding up in like a trill. thanks for any suggestions Hayward Chappell Lawrence County -- Hayward Chappell 766 Private Rd. 3952 Willow Wood, OH 45696 ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
