[cobirds] Lazuli Bunting Behavior, El Paso County

Greetings, cobirders,

Might you be able to help explain some curious behavior I recently encountered?

A few weeks ago, at Sondermann Park in Colorado Springs, I thought I heard a male Lazuli Bunting (LAZB) singing.
As I wasn't sure of my ID, I briefly played its song, which was similar but different from the one it had just sung. The male immediately appeared and sang the exact song I had just played.

When I heard a LAZB again the following week at Sondermann, I again briefly played the tape (I won't do it again, but I considered this research), and again it repeated the song I played.

Is this typical behavior? 

I would greatly appreciate your input,

Linda Hodges
Colorado Springs
