I took a short walk in a small forested park nearby and ended up seeing most of the birds I expected including an unexpected Belted Kingfisher.
But I also ended up hearing an extremely high-pitched bird that I didn't recognize and could never find. The bird had a very high-pitched call (or song) like a Cedar Waxwing or a Broad-winged Hawk. It was not a two-note call like a Broad-winged Hawk and was not trilly like a Cedar Waxwing. This bird's call was a single high-pitched whistling note that lasted about 0.3-0.5 seconds each call. I was a single note that trailed off at the end and for a few minutes it was being repeated every 3-5 seconds. I never found the bird and it was still making noise from the same, or nearly the same location that it started from when I left after about five minutes. If anybody has any ideas or possibilities it would be appreciated.
