I have weeks and weeks of house sparrows calling throughout the night at one well lighted, heavily populated roost location. Still occasionally hear them at night in the city.

Maybe something disturbed their roost?

The attached call has bugged me for some time. Sounds a bit finchy to me, but time of night (12:30 AM) doesn't coincide with predawn movement. Only finch possibility left around my house in May would most likely be House (outside chance at a Purple). House sparrow possibly? First time I heard it, cadence struck me as shorebird, but I have never been able to match it to a particular species. I am stumped. Thanks for any help.
