(And I know it’s not a lark – it’s a Carolina Wren apparently, but it is singing it’s heart out)

However, if you just cut and paste into your own blog or whatever and pass it off as your own then there's a very good chance I will find out. Don't fall into the trap of thinking the internet is so vast and expanding so fast (note the fancy internal rhyme)] that no one will know.
