I love their song, and agree with your description - "spritely"! And I've noticed how variable they are - the Michigan and New York Song Sparrows sing slightly different songs.
New world sparrows are my favorite family of birds and since the song sparrow is the most common where I live on the East Coast during breeding season, I’ve become very familiar with their song. But many of them still surprise me with their song variations and I like to record them when I can.

Great clip, Bob. I saw and heard several on my weekend hike this past weekend. Always impressed by the volume from this little sparrow!
Beautiful music.
