    Ahh..another one..well two I can't identify

    I'm really ignorant when it comes to birds..but they're starting to really fascinate me..But here are two more that I ain't ever heard except near dusk in the spring and summer.
    The first one is easy to explain. Two high-pitched chirps and one long one, that falls in pitch, sometimes a lot. It'll do this 2-3 times in a row. That's the best way I can say it. I never see these birds, but I hear em in the woods back there.
    Now this next one is kinda of difficult to explain in the way it chirps, sings, or I don't know what word to use, but it kind of sounds like it's saying "where are you?". The "where" is a middle kind of sound, the "are" is a high pitched sound, and the "you" is right in the middle of the two pitches. It goes "whereee AREE youuu". Occasionally the "you" will be the same pitch as the "are".

    I had to laugh at people because they said the last one was a turkey but turkeys don't go in trees..or none that I've seen haha.
    If ya'll need me too, I can make a recording of me whistling the two sounds and send it to someone, if that will help.
