Hi Betsy, I had skipped your description of "clear whistles" and got hung up on the sound of a violin, which can sound more wailing or moaning (to me) than clear or whistling. Tufted Titmouse was definitely the other bird of consideration, and I should have mentioned that.
Glad you found your mystery singer! Bird sound ID - fun stuff!!

It finally landed on a nearby branch, continued to toot that same high-ish E, and was soon joined by what was probably a female, since the singer didn't chase it away. I have never heard a titmouse make that sound. Must have been pretty appealing to his lady friend!
