According to the Wikipedia entry for Spizella pusilla, "The male sings from a higher perch, such as a shrub or fencepost, which indicates his ownership of the nesting territory. The song is a series of sad whistles ending in a trill, often compared to the accelerating sound of a bouncing ball." Comments | Permalink Signs of Spring: Chipmunk
