Listening to a Continent Sing

Thirteen songs, punctuated by a complex flight whistle when he departs.

Try to follow along with his four different songs, given in the following sequence:

A B A B C B C B A B B C D

Using Raven-lite, I listen to him at slowed speeds, taking him down to one-fifth normal speed, then one-tenth, reveling in the details of what he does so quickly. I smile. This is no bird to detest; these are songs to admire. Very nice!!
