Here we provide data for a manuscript in which we describe the atypical song of a male white-throated sparrow (Zonotrichia albicollis). We observed this male over multiple breeding seasons at our Cranberry Lake study site (Adirondack Mountains; New York; 44.15N, 74.78W). We recorded the male singing, and also made observations regarding his failure to obtain reproductive success. In addition, as the male was banded as a nestling, we were able to compare his morphometric measurements at the time to the population average. Our observations of this unique individual support a connection between developmental stress, atypical song, and fitness outcomes.

3 files. -- Dataset 1: This dataset contains measurements on the atypical song that were analyzed in the manuscript. -- Dataset 2: This dataset contains measurements on nestlings from the Cranberry Lake white-throated sparrow population from 1998-2014, and includes the focal males (FROP; 1541-43272).
