White Brown Black Song ((NEW)) Download

The Chipping sparrow is a small and slender sparrow that has a distinctive sharp chip note and simple, trilling song. Breeding adults display a chestnut crown, a black eye-stripe, and crisp white eyebrow. After nesting season, both male and female lose their distinctive bright cap for a streaky dull brown head pattern that is similar to other winter sparrows.

Flocks of these big, brown, plain sparrows are a common sight in winter in western Oregon. By early spring their faded head markings become a beautiful gold, black and white, and their plaintive descending songs become frequently heard from almost any large brush pile.

Their habit of running along the ground in a crouch rather than flying makes them a challenge to observe, but in flight their characteristic rattling call is unmistakable. Otherwise, in fall and winter plumage, they appear as brownish streaked sparrows. In flight their dark tail with white sides is conspicuous.

The adult Lark sparrow is one of the most easily recognized passerines. The head pattern is sharp and crisp, with a chestnut crown and cheek patch surrounded by alternating white and black stripes. White underparts with a a small black central spot and a long, blackish tail with conspicuous white wing corners further aid identification.

For many, the rich, melodious song of the Black-headed grosbeak is the music of springtime in Oregon. The handsome males, with their bold pattern of cinnamon, black, and white, are among our most striking songbirds, and area familiar site in parks and gardens as well as in almost every forest type in the state. The buffy, streaked females are less conspicuous, but are also accomplished singers.

Although common within its range, this handsome sparrow can easily be overlooked. The gray head, black malar stripe, white eyebrow, and prominent black spot set in the middle of a white breast identify the bird. It is widespread throughout the extensive shrub-steppe of central and eastern Oregon.

Males are unmistakable when singing from a prominent perch, flashing deep azure upper parts with rich orange-brown breast and flanks, a white belly, and white wing bars. Females are warm brown and relatively plain, though they share with males the habit of twitching the tail to one side when excited.

This well-known ground-dwelling bird is black above on the male and brown on the female, including the entire head and upper breast. On both sexes the upperparts are spotted with white on the wings and the long tail. It has rufous sides and a white belly.

Adults show both a white-striped and tan-striped morph, while first year birds resemble tan-striped adults but are typically more heavily streaked underneath. Even the dullest first-year birds have a distinct rectangular white throat patch, often set off with a partial black border.

This large sparrow is white below and in most plumages has at least some black around the face or throat, more in adults than younger birds. Cheeks are golden-tan in fall and winter and grayish in spring. It is streaked above. It is a winter visitor usually found with other sparrows.

This large brown sparrow with its handsome black-and-white head pattern is a common breeder in brushy semi-open country throughout much of the state. In winter, it is frequently found in large flocks, often in the company of Golden-crowned sparrows and other seed eaters.

He began writing the song last year, days after George Floyd's killing and protesters marching against racial injustice. He said the song derived in-part from a moment in 2020 when he balked at wearing red, white and blue on Independence Day.

When you reach the Rocky Mountains, suddenly Blue Jays are replaced by Steller's Jays. With their contrasting blue lower bodies and black backs, heads, and crests, Steller's are easily distinguishable. Loud and boisterous, they are most common in coniferous forests, but as with all jays, these birds are bold and have grown accustomed to humans, making them common visitors to campsites, parks, and backyards. A solitary nester, Steller's Jays live in flocks for the rest of the year.

Good bird fact: Steller's Jays can vary widely in both body and head color, ranging from extremely dark populations to paler birds with white marks on their heads. In total, 16 subspecies have been described across North America.

A staple of the American West, this large bird is hard to miss with its black head and back, white breast, long tail, and iridescent feathers. Members of the corvid family along with crows, jays, and ravens, magpies can be found at all elevations in urban and rural habitats, often strutting around open areas foraging for food. The Black-billed Magpie is not a discriminatory eater, either, consuming everything from grasshoppers and beetles to carrion and small rodents.

A permanent resident across the northern U.S. and in parts of the Appalachian Mountains, Black-capped Chickadees are energetic little birds that prefer mixed, open woods and forest edges. Easy to identify by their white cheeks sandwiched between a black cap and chin, chickadees also live in suburban environments and are popular feeder visitors, where they can readily be identified by quick bursts of their namesake call: chick-a-dee-dee-dee.

If you've ever been scolded by a plucky little brown bird, chances are good it was a House Wren. As the name suggests, this common wren species thives in urban and suburban spaces, gracing backyards, parks, and hedgerows with its cheerful, bubbly song. These birds can be furtive, but when defending their territory or nests, they become conspicuous, bouncing from perch to perch with their lightly striped tails held high, incessantly chattering at the intruder.

Good bird fact: House Wrens nest in natural or manmade cubbies, but before they do, male House Wrens will often build several partially completed potential nests for their partners to choose from. Once a nest is chosen, the female completes the build by adding lining.

Just as comfortable clinging to feeders as it is to the purple tops of thistle plants, the goldfinch is a cheery drop of sunshine during the summer and spring months across the northern U.S., where it's a year-round resident. In winter, where it can also be found in the southern U.S., males trade their distinctive black cap and golden feathers for olive-colored plumage, matching the female. Both birds have telltale white wing bars. To attract goldfinches, hang a tube feeder filled with nyjer seeds.

One of Broonzy's best known songs, the protest song, "Black, Brown, and White", addressed the experiences of black war vets and the painful issue of preferential treatment by gradations of skin color:

Bill grew up to top his father's six-foot-and-a-half-inch frame by another three-and-a-half inches. Before he reached his teens he had joined the older man behind the plow. As he grew older he also did other kinds of manual labor, learning work songs while working on road gangs, in Delta levee camps, and laying track for the Cotton Belle Railroad Line. For a while he found religion and gave up the violin, which the church considered sinful. He took up preaching, honing his persuasive skills. He married and tried settling down to farming, but when given a chance to earn a new violin and $50, plus $14 in tips to perform for a three-day picnic with his friends Louis Carter and Jerry Saunders, his resolve wavered. Blues historian Samuel B. Charters recounts that Bill's wife Gertrude had already accepted the gig for him and spent the money, leaving him no choice but to play (Charters, The Country Blues, New York: Rinehart, 1959, Da Capo Press, 1975). Whatever the case, secular music brought in more extra cash than religion, and Bill soon gave up the church to play at dances, fish fries, and picnics in Arkansas, Mississippi, and Texas. His repertoire included waltzes, reels, ragtime, blues, pop songs; and one-step, two-step, and square dances for audiences black and white. Drafted sometime after 1917, he was sent overseas to fight in World War I, and due to the lengthy demobilization arrived home sometime in 1920. He told Alan Lomax that he learned to read while in the army, though it is likely he did have some schooling before that. Like many like many other African-American vets, on his return he found life in the South intolerable. As his song "When Will I Get to be Called a Man" states:

In Chicago, Broonzy joined other African-American arrivals from the Delta who played jazz, rags, and hokum songs in the multi-cultural (though then predominantly Jewish) open-air market on Maxwell Street, which has been called (with partial aptness) "the Ellis Island of the Midwest." To support himself, he held various jobs - he briefly became Pullman porter, a coveted profession for African-Americans at the time, but quit because traveling interfered with his musical activities. Since the violin was becoming unfashionable, he put his aside and learned the guitar. As he told Studs Terkel (in a 1958 interview reprinted in Guitar Player 15 years later), "I didn't play guitar until I came to Chicago... I started in 1921, didn't get good at it until 1923." His principal teacher was Papa Charlie Jackson. A leading figure on Maxwell Street and one of the earliest male blues recording stars, Jackson is remembered today for "Salty Dog Blues" and "Shake That Thing." Bill recalled that Jackson "taught me how to make my music correspond to my singing." Jackson also connected Bill with J. Mayo Williams, the black executive at Paramount records, the leading "race" records company of the day. In later years when Bill himself became established in Chicago, he stayed in touch with developments back in the Delta and on Maxwell Street and likewise acted as mentor to talented newcomers. Other influences included Jackson's colleague, Blind Blake ("who began to show me what the guitar could do. He made it sound like every instrument in the band - saxophone, trombone, clarinets, bass fiddles, pianos - everything"). Blind Lemon Jefferson, Ma Rainey, and Bessie Smith were influences via their recordings. 17dc91bb1f
