Bird Song Question?

My guess is Northern Mockingbird, sometimes they sing when it's dark out if they have streetlights around. Their song is pretty variable though, as their name indicates. Northern Cardinal is another possibility, as they are pretty common and loud. If you find some binoculars, you might be able to track the singer down.

Nightingale is not a possibility, as they do not occur in the US. You might want to think about what continent the asker lives on when answering, people.

Hard to say from that description...there are probably a lot of migrants in the area right now due to breeding season so it can really be a LOT of different species. I suggest doing a search on a bird site that offers bird songs as well, and just start listening to songbirds. Just want to verify, Nightengales are NOT found in the US, they are in Europe and Asia, and Carolina Chickadees ARE found in Florida naturally!!

Well there are three birds i can think of.

1. Nightengale- it is renound for it's beutiful sound, but it does have variations to its tune.

2. Chickidee- small bird with impressive acoustacle skills, only problem is that it can not be found in Florida under natural causes.

3. Your next door neighbors parrot who is actually known to be quite annoying and uses its biological clock to sing that tune just to wake its masters up.

Thrushes typically sing at dusk. Sounds like you are describing our good ol' American Robin. Their song, a clear caroling; short phrases, rising and falling; "cheerily cheer-up cheerio"; sometimes "tyeep" notes.

If it's nightime near dusk or dark it's probaly a nightingale,but if it's still light I'd say it's a cardinal.
