Calling all bird call experts

[Cirque du So-What]

I awoke this morning to the call of a bird that sounded like the DA DA DA DUM from Beethoven's 5th Symphony. Granted, there were a couple more DAs in there and the DUM was flat, but the DAs were right in tune. Any clue as to the identity of this classical-era songster?

1. White-throated sparrow, maybe?

2. That's not the one

Similar, but the DAs were closer together and more numerous.

3. What state?

4. Ohio

but I expect he's migratory.

11. I'm still voting for white-throated sparrow. Try this, starting at about :58.

In winter, this species migrates to the southern and eastern United States. It stays year round in the Atlantic provinces of Canada. This bird is a rare vagrant to western Europe. Alongside some other species such as the cardinal, dark-eyed junco, song sparrow and chickadees, this species ranks among the most abundant native birds during winter in eastern North America. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White-throated_sparrow
