In this recording you can hear a lot of creek noise which is a big hint. One songbird comes to mind when fast-flowing water is involved; the American Dipper. This species is a loud singer and it often has to be loud to be heard over the rushing torrent in the creeks where they are found. They are capable of singing very long songs of rhythmic whistles and trills. An interesting little tidbit: both dipper sexes sing year-round.
Four respondents guessed correctly on this quiz:
Joel Such
Marcel Such
Andy Bankert

RMBO Audio Quiz #2 - Answer

OK, maybe the second RMBO Audio quiz was too easy! All seven of the participants guessed the easily-heard singing bird correctly; White-crowned Sparrow. There was a calling bird in the background that a few people guessed at, but it was difficult to hear without high-quality speakers or nice headphones. My guess is that the calling species is a Pine Siskin, but I could be wrong! Two of the brave participants that guessed at the second species agree with me.
The following people answered correctly for quiz #2:
Andy Bankert
Jacob Cooper
Eric DeFonso
Nathan Pieplow
Joel Such
Marcel Such
Eric Wood
