    Please help ID bird by it's call

    Hello.  There is a bird that favors the tree right outside our bedroom window, and is the first one up each morning.  My home backs to a mile-wide section of woods along the Potomac River in Loudoun, VA.  I've never seen it, but I stumbled upon it while listening to bird calls (trying to find my mystery bird!).  It's in the background of this bird call for a painted bunting, at about 6 seconds then again at 16 seconds into the recording:

    If anyone can help me find out what this bird is, I would greatly appreciate it!

    Try either a Gray Catbird or a Northern Mockingbird.

    Sounds like a Northern Cardinal to me.
