To my ears this sounds like the persistent begging of a young bird, possibly even an owl??

Despite enthusiasm--here on COBirds, as well as over at Facebook and in my inbox--for Say phoebe, mountain bluebird, and lesser goldfinch, it is not any of those species. The mystery songster is in a bird family nobody has come close to yet. Anybody else want to chime in now? :-) Ted Floyd Lafayette, Boulder County P.s. Up at Rabbit Mountain, northern Boulder County, this sunny solstice morn, June 20, Hannah Floyd and I saw a pair of brown thrashers bringing food to an apparent nest near the parking area. Didn't investigate the matter too closely, but I imagine that "apparent" nest is a real one. On Thursday, June 18, 2020 at 7:22:39 PM UTC-6, Ted Floyd wrote: Hey, folks. Alrighty, that last one was fun, er, "fun." Here's a new one: https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/244160651<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmacaulaylibrary.org%2Fasset%2F244160651&data=02%7C01%7C%7Cf25b0cd61f174889240908d8157aad1e%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637282963910588340&sdata=FVGAmTwwNb7%2Fo%2FgKXx6%2BqE8bwTWkTut0qLV4a%2B9vhNg%3D&reserved=0> And another cut from the same bird: https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/244160711<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmacaulaylibrary.org%2Fasset%2F244160711&data=02%7C01%7C%7Cf25b0cd61f174889240908d8157aad1e%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637282963910588340&sdata=BU1nX5%2Fl%2BloKG8HZ2RgbzmK9RYW1%2FUz3dzStS2Cj2s0%3D&reserved=0> You can hear several species in those two cuts, but the one I'm talking about is the slowly and rather steadily repeated whistle, falling in pitch a bit and wavering, uttered every 2-3 seconds. The bird vocalized like this for at least a minute at a time for much of the morning. Audio-recorded (and seen, so I know what it is) near the intersection of Lefthand Canyon Drive and Old Stage Road in Boulder County, yesterday, Wed., June 17. Any takers? Enjoy!
