Not really a gardening question.... about birds.

I couldn't find a suitable forum for this question, but are there any birders here? This kind of ties in to the change of seasons, though!

I am hearing more birds singing now! Does anyone know which bird makes three tweets ---- "tweet, tweet, tweet," very clearly? It pauses, then repeats. I tried searching but wasn't successful.

I am in western PA, but I also heard this same bird song when I was in southern VA. I hope it is a sign of spring? Thank you!

They are now looking for nests and one hearty male might be yearning for early love.

We get them in early March. They might be early since it was a mild winter, though. Have you seen any yet?

They are really early this year! We have about 8 inches of snow today. No one is chirping today.
Thanks, that is great news!
