  • Bird song recording. 2 am, Southern New Hampshire

    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 ...

  • 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 ...

  • 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 ...

  • 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 ...

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

    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 ...

  • S.Carolina Bird Call -- any guesses??

    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 ...

  • Bird sounded like a cuckoo clock

    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)

    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.
