Mystery Sonagram #2

I recorded these two birds this morning in Philadelphia, PA at Harper's Meadow. I will give you a hint, both of these birds songs are "trills". I will post the audio on Monday. Email albrigh_1999@yahoo.com if you would like to log an answer before I post the audio.

Mystery Sonogram #1


Recorded at dawn March 1st in mature forest/mature suburban edge.
Philadelphia (southeast Pennsylvania).
I've only heard this call Jan-March and it isn't on the Stokes' CD for this species.
