In the morning to keep of the smell of Jointer compound (or whatever it is called, but stinks), I opened the windows and I also heard a very insistent Eastern Phoebe of my neighborhood vocalizing.
Last a couple of times when I have walked to Pine Tree road, I have got fooled by a mockingbird. I heard Kestrel calling so I looked immediately for it and only to hear a next call either a killdeer or tufted mouse or anything else. He does perfect mimicry of Kestrel. I think it must have learnt from the local kestrel of Equestrian center.

Lots of SONG SPARROWS and DARK-EYED JUNCOS were singing all along my route as well.
