    7. Actually, snippets of speeches by Malcolm X and Louis Farrakhan over beats.
    e. Recorded by Geoff Sample

    1. I'm not good at this, but I heard a bird call this morning that for some reason always reminds me of spring in MN. It was basically two notes repeated: dee-dee [step or two down] dee-dee.
      I think it was a Black-Capped Chickadee (based on this) but I'm not sure and I'm not great at translating a call to mnemonics.
      Care to expound?

      1. Yes, that sounds like a Chickadee.
        "Typical Song" here.
        Permanent residents, they actually "start" singing this in midwinter. (Scare-quotes because I don't remember them stopping.)

        Lots of people think those songs are from Phoebes. But Phoebes have different "Fee-bee" calls.
        First "Primary Song" here.
        They're back from migration already.

        Not to be confused with the similar-looking and -sounding Pewee.
        First "Song" here.
        They won't be back to their MN breeding grounds until May.

        The White-throated Sparrow has a whistle that's similar to the Chickadee but has a different rhythm.
        Second "Song" here.
        Just starting to pass through, a handful winter in the Twin Cities and they may breed as far south as Northern MN.

        1. Yup - Chickadee.
          That White-throated Sparrow is like the opposite song with the same notes - starting lower and stepping higher.

          I think the reason it reminds me of spring is because, although they may "start" in midwinter, I don't spend nearly as much time outside in January as I do in April & May.
