Song of the Bobolink



Many people have made fun of the bobolink's song.
Here are two attempts by F. Schuyler Mathews to transcribe the crazy part.




Even when you do the birdsong analyst's favorite trick and slow the song down to a quarter speed, there is apparent craziness (with barking sounds now), though there does seem to be a little more order in the rhythm and slurriness.

Ah, bobolink.
