Hi Preston,
Very interesting flight call. It reminds me of a type 2 Red Crossbill. It’s
sounds a bit soft for this species but distance from mic might cause that. It
is also unusual to get just one or two notes. Were there any others? I see from
eBird there are some recent records from MA, RI,
Perhaps Snow Bunting?

Hey all,
I've posted this before, but I would implore folks posting example
recordings to this list to leave a few seconds of sound before and after
the call in question so you can actually hear it. With only a second-long
recording, all I hear is a burst of sound with no time for my ear to
Ah, that makes sense. Is there no way to extend what the detector pulls?
The original call on this thread sounds a lot like a goldfinch to me.
