i recently heard a new bird call. i heard it for 3 days and then nothing. the call sounded like     teacher tia teacher tia tia teacher. some one sugested it was an ovenbird. but i listened to the call of an oven bird and it was nothing like it. i live in wetern pennsylvania in the country.  the call was very distinctive.

The loud "teach-ER, teach-ER, teach-ER," call is indeed an ovenbird, although it can vary some.  If what you heard is something else entirely, it would help to know what the habitat was.  Up in a tree, woods, leafy forest floor, wetlands, etc. Just a hunch, but try the chestnut-sided warbler.

Could it have been the "peter peter peter" call  of the Tufted titmouse?

Sometimes a male Baltimore Oriole sounds like this, but it is difficult to find recordings of orioles, because they almost always have a varied song. :-)

Perhaps it could be a Northern Cardinal, or like Enchilada suggested, a Tufted Titmouse?

I would stick with Tufted Titmouse, the "tia" in between sounds a lot like them, but what I usually hear is "Peter Peter Peter......... tia! tia! Peter Peter Petere" Something similar to that.

Carolina wren possibly??

it was very didtinctive. the area around my place is old woods, lots of pine and tall deciduous trees. i sit at my computer at a window to the back yard. again lots of trees and woods.  thank you  i appreciate any help i can get. i am new to the bird game.

i do have tufted titmouse around but i have heard them before this was not them. i have a lot of cardinels too but this was something entirely different. thats why it caught my attention
