First I need to set up a little background here by way of apology. An apology for the state of the video. I have been hearing a bird for about two months now. I have listened to every bird I can think of and I am no closer to figuring it out. About two weeks ago (just about the same time I got the new camera AND my iPad was being repaired) it stopped calling. Just stopped. I didn't hear it again until tonight. Right in the middle fixing the swamp cooler (the lines were plugged). So I dashed down the ladder and into the house, grabbed the camera and ran back outside. No tripod. Just me and my shaky hands and winded body.
During the video I was looking for a place to set down the camera to run and get the tripod when two things happened. It started to rain and two dirtbikes raced by scaring the bird into silence. Once again. I waited under the porch in vain for another hour. No bird.
I'm so sorry.
You will hear a nighthawk and a robin. The bird song I'm referring to is the one that starts out high and then switches to a lower pitch. It's hard to hear due to the quality of the video. Once again, so sorry...
So, without further ado, here is the best I have:

Can you tell us when on the video it is. I thought it was a Carolina wren until I realized the video had ended and the wren is actually outside my house!

It's starts around the 8 second range you can clearly hear the four high tones and then the nighthawk drowns out it's lower tones. The first part is more musical and the lower part sounds kind of like a magpie.
I hear what you are talking about, but it's so faint I don't think we can identify it.
I'm going to try again this evening barring any unforseen interferences. LOL
