It really is singing out loud, isn't it? Must be trying to drown out traffic noise!

What's interesting is we have a population in the meadowland (NJ) and they are super loud compared to where I live normally. They are right off a highway, NJ commuter rail and the primary approach for Newark airport. They need to scream to be heard like my north jersey Italian family!

That is an incredible capture! I struggle getting good shots of this species. Had this early morning today which is my best so far.
