Bird song recording. 2 am, Southern New Hampshire

habilis — Sun, 21 Jun 2009 06:14:30 GMT

Hello folks. I arrived home at 1:30am to quite a racket in a tree by the window to my apartment. I tried to spot the bird with a flashlight but was unable to do so. I was however, able to record it's song with my iPhone voice recorder. I was wondering if any of you guys could help me identify it. I made an MP3 of the song and attached it to this post (at least I think I did). I am guessing this is a common bird but I don't recall hearing anything like it. It makes several different sounds in the 35 seconds of the clip. Thanks for you time!

Bird call help

Ok, there's this bird call that's like: "Pee-yo-pee-yo" and sometimes "Pee-yo-pee-yo-pee-yo". My sister heard it as more of a "Hear-hear". The voice is sort of medium -toned, kind of like the Whip-poor-will's.It's a two-tone bird call and it's falling on the "yo" or "ar"(of hear).

I heard it in Massachusetts, near a forest. I've done the bird search a lot and had no luck. Any ideas?

What bird is this? (Actual bird recording)

I can't get a view of this bird ever because it's so far back in the woods and I didn't think I'd be able to record it, but I was.

You have might have to turn up your speakers and get right next to them though.

Click on the attachment and you'll hear it.

Thanks for your time!

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.

Re: Seattle - Bizarre single-tone birdcall we only hear this time of year

You & the others with varied thrush are correct, thank you! I wonder why they only hang out around the evergreens (not enough to call an urban forest) now when the range map has them in Western Washington all year.

This blurb is certainly accurate from http://identify.whatbird.com/obj/200/_/Varied_Thrush.aspx

The best clue to this bird's presence is usually its song, which often seems to emanate from the forest itself, and is generally unhelpful to observers wishing to locate the singer.

I hope one day we'll see one of them!

Seattle - Bizarre single-tone birdcall we only hear this time of year

eagledawg — Sun, 01 Mar 2009 23:48:35 GMT

I am brand new to birding with our 6-year-old son as part of Cub Scouts and I have to start with saying how valuable this site is with information that has easily helped us identify all our backyard feeders so far... thanks!

Unfortunately none of the suggestions in searching by Washington, unusual, flat, trill etc for the calls are coming up with anything close to the unseen birds we hear for less than a month or so each year that arrived last week. We live in an area of the city with loads of evergreen trees and they're quite good at hiding in there!

They call in a single continuous tone that is sustained for a long time, doesn't really trill or warble, and doesn't vary in pitch except slightly at the end where once they'll drop down a few notes, then with the next call they'll go up a few. It is such a distinctive sound, almost like someone holding down a key on a keyboard set to some strange electronic synthesizer effect.

Does this sound familiar at all to anyone? Every year I've wondered what these are but now I'm on a mission to find the answer!

Thank you,

~Nikki

S.Carolina Bird Call -- any guesses??

lisaski — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 13:20:12 GMT

Hi there. I have a kind of bird near my house (out in the country, near ponds and swamps, next to a forest, about 20 miles inland from the beach) that I hear but never can see. I think they might be mating right now (Oct.), as they seem to be calling to each other quite often throughout the day. I can't tell if they are in the trees or on the ground.

The sound they make is like a high-pitched laughter, rapid, starting out with a low note on the first couple of "ha's" and then into a higher note, and the speed winds down a bit toward the end. Ahhh-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha or ah-aa-aa-aa-aa... If I mimic it, it is nasal in sound. Also it makes a similar sound, rapid, but not as high in note, maybe like er-er-er-er-er-er-er...

Any guesses as to what it might be? It's making me so crazy because I can hear them but never see them. It sounds like a rain forest around here.

NOTE: Sounds sort of like a Prairie Falcon, but more of a uniform call.

Bird sounded like a cuckoo clock

Theresaq — Mon, 12 May 2008 19:25:34 GMT

It was at a friend's house on the Clinton River in Rochester Hills, MI, around Noon. I could not, unfortunately, spy the bird. The call sounded just like a cuckoo clock, but is not a cuckoo, according to the various sound libraries I checked. Does anyone know what bird makes a call like this? Thanks for any leads.....

Birdsong ID needed (soundclip)

Dark-eyed Junco — Sat, 22 Mar 2008 20:19:49 GMT

At least I hope the clip uploads...

I'm trying to figure out the bird that is singing 5/6 seconds in, and again at 12 seconds (last sound on the clip). I couldn't even get a glimpse of it, but it was a very loud and persistent caller. In Florida.
