For the holidays I'm releasing a sample episode of Songbirding Serenades, normally a Patreon exclusive. Enjoy!

The American Redstart is a cheery, friendly warbler that vocalizes in a lot of different ways.

It can be hard to nail down this song as it varies so much, but generally it is always a short song, and tends to end abruptly or with an accent. It is a fairly persistent singer though, as you will hear -- and the pause between each song is usually only a few seconds long.

A few times in these following soundscapes it may even sound like the redstart is mimicking other warbler species. But, do be aware, some of these recordings actually do contain other species.

For feedback you can contact me through Patreon, Discord, or email [email protected]. Each episode is a paid subscriber exclusive. If and when I get more soundscape recordings of a species, I will go back and add the new content to the existing episode, so a given episode may grow in length over time.
