Episode: Finches Singing Over the Sidewalk
Description: The songs of two common finches provide a steady soundtrack in cities across North America: the House Finch and the American Goldfinch. While they can sound similar, a couple of key features help set them apart. House Finches sing sweetly but often have a sharp, buzzy note near the end. Goldfinches sing rapidly, often repeating a note several times. They also often make their distinctive call, which sounds like someone quickly saying “potato chip!”Support for BirdNote is provided by Mary Pigott of Seattle, Washington — and generous listeners around the world.
