Betsy & Geo: You might be interested to know that Lang recorded that titmouse 
(Audubon #3) in Ohio years ago!

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Mystery bird revealed elsewhere, too

I always say if you don't line what it is it's probably a titmouse. One time I 
heard a very dry chuff kind of croaking repeated sound. Searched and searched 
and finally found the titmouse. Although I gotta say he probably was not going 
to end up with a wife with that song.

[cayugabirds-l] Mystery bird revealed elsewhere, too

2017-04-29 Thread Antonia Saxon 
Too late to solve Betsy's mystery, but wanted to write to say that my 
sister-in-law and I went through the same sequence Easter weekend -- 
unfamiliar song, three clear identical notes, walked around block 
following bird but couldn't find it. We live right in Trumansburg and 
see the same bunch of backyard birds over and over again, so Occam's 
razor suggested it must be a bird we knew. It took us an embarrassingly 
long time to think to try titmouse. (Thank you, All About Birds!). One 
thing we got hung up on was the volume of the sound. High 
decibel-to-gram ratio, there.

Oh yeah, I've heard Tufted Titmouse do that! In fact, there's a recording of 
just such a song in the Audubon Birds app (Tufted Titmouse, Track #3), and it's 
pitched right on the open E string of the violin. Any violinist would notice 
the resemblance.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Mystery bird revealed!

2017-04-29 Thread Christopher T. Tessaglia-Hymes 
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!!

Sincerely,
Chris T-H
