Beethoven Bird: Ending on the Right Note

 
IMG_1655-1 Through all of the fun of trying to solve the Beethoven Bird mystery, I neglected to thank all those responsible for getting the birdsong on the blog.

   Laura DeFlora, and her
neighbor, Bill Hoffman, live in Ridgewood by the Saddle River.  They both heard the bird, and Laura asked her sister-in-law, also named Laura DeFlora (You can't make make this stuff up), for help.

   Laura II lives in Demarest, She asked her friend, Michele Sunberg, also of Demarest, who met me on a bird walk and talked about the Beethoven bird.

    Bill Hoffman later made the superb recording, and the mystery was eventually solved. 

   Laura II reports: " I can report that I
have also been hearing the Song Sparrow here – three high tones, and one longer
low one – and can now say with confidence 'Song Sparrow'."
 
  I imagine that Stiles Thomas would like credit for predicting "Song Sparrow" on Day One.
