Hi :) Here's a challenge....I'd love to know which bird makes a sound like he's saying "Dearie" or "Deer - REE" I've heard this bird several times, but I've never been able to catch a glimpse. I live in south western British Columbia. Any suggestions would be appreciated!! Thanks for reading, Sue

Well I'll start with a spotted towhee and you can let me know how close that is.

Oops! Nope, doesn't sound like that guy. But thanks for replying!

I have the syllables wrong it's more of a "DEER -ee" sound 

Hmmm...maybe a chickadee, blue jay, of red-winged blackbird?  Oh!  And I almost forgot-welcome to whatbird, horsetryx!  I'm glad to reply.

Keep on lovin' birds!

Where are you hearing the bird's song come from, a tree, out in a field, next to a lake or river, in the city...?

Try Pacific Slope Flycatcher.  They just starting arriving again last week.

I was thinking maybe it was a Phoebe, Peewee, or some type of flycatcher, too.

Hi all, I listened to the recorded songs of the birds mentioned, and none fit I always hear this guy in the early morning, and in the evening, he/she is hanging out in the trees. Thanks for the 'welcome' too

This is probably a long shot, but it's not a northern cardinal, is it?

EDIT:  Never mind, just looked at the range map. 

Nope, not that little guy either
