I think this Mourning Dove had a rough night.

The Carolina Wren sings year-round. The male is known to sing up to 40 different song types, singing one song repeatedly before switching to another.
The female also sings, resulting in duets.

Perhaps this one's a keeper?

Friday Feathers
Wir haben viel für einander gefühlt,
Und dennoch uns gar vortrefflich vertragen.
Wir haben oft "Mann und Frau" gespielt,
Und dennoch uns nicht gerauft und geschlagen.
Wir haben zusammen gejauchzt und gescherzt,
Und zärtlich uns geküßt und geherzt.
Wir haben am Ende aus kindischer Lust
"Verstecken" gespielt in Wäldern und Gründen,
Und haben uns so zu verstecken gewußt,
Daß wir uns nimmermehr wiederfinden.
We felt a good deal for each other,
Yet got on splendidly, heaven knows;
We often played "husband and wife" together,
Yet didn't inflict either scratches or blows;
We traded banter and frolicked and mugged,
And tenderly kissed each other and hugged.
At last we agreed in a sportive mood
To play "hide and seek" in thicket and wood,
And managed to hide so cleverly then
We never can find each other again.
- Heinrich Heine
