  1. A Yellow Warbler leads with its bright, accelerating sweet-sweet-sweet ("I'm so sweet"), front and center.
  2. A Red-bellied Woodpecker rolls a low, rough churr from deeper in the trees, anchoring the bottom of the mix.
  3. A Tree Swallow darts in with quick, liquid, gurgling chirps, bright and close.
  4. A Yellow Warbler's rising sweet-sweet-sweet is answered as a Blackpoll Warbler threads in its thin, very high string of ticking notes, the two layering up front.
  5. A Blackpoll Warbler threads a high, thin, insect-like trill at the very top of the mix, so faint it sits at the edge of hearing.
