Well, I may be biased. I've heard the "sound of a lark, descending" - ethereal, mysterious, magical and beautiful, as though spun from the air itself. And I've heard a nightingale singing through a Scandinavian night - a symphony, slicing the darkness into bright cascading color. But of all the birds I know, I reckon the yodeling warble of the Australian magpie (quite different from the European one) is the most amazing - like a waterfall turned into sound. A group together is beyond belief or comprehension. And the Australian Willie Wagtail, or flycatcher, singing through a Spring night in search of love, beats even a nightingale into a paper bag. Sadly they're heard more rarely now, but I've lain awake in my farm bed most of the night to listen, and once spent a bad night in hospital comforted by a single Willie singing in the park more than 500 yards away. A piccolo, or two or more, melodic and berserk. A fair achievement for a bird only a few inches long! I remember other birds too, such as the Australian Bower Bird that can convincingly imitate anything from a steam engine or power saw to a chorus of violins or flutes -- but the Magpie and the Willie would be my pick for any prize. Not forgetting the ignored seagull, whose pipings evoke the loneliness of faery shores; and the Curlew who sings of the great plains, and the Currawong ("Rainbird"), who laments for the mountains with his gurgling whoop. But I know no website where you could hear any of them. I'll look for one, and let you know; and you might do the same for me.

The most amazing song of any bird and often the most beautiful as it mimics all the others is the Australian lyrebird. I think sharbarak meant that rather than the bower birds which, in the main, have harsh calls. You can hear many different Australian birds including the lyrebird at Birds Australia

I will cast a vote for the Rose-breasted Grosbeak
This is based on living in the Northeast United States.
