  • 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 ...

  • 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 ...

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 ...

  • Sound only

    Is there a bird in the western U.S. that has or can have a call that sounds similar to a siren or an alarm? I'm asking this for a friend who was camping recently in a remote forest area in western Montana, the state where we live. She said she heard it nearly every morning during the week they were camping but couldn't see the bird ...

  • Is there software that will "match" a bird song/call?

    In this age of computers, I'm wondering if there is any software that will help me try to match a bird song or call.  What I'm looking for is a CD or on-line site, like the whatbird.com songs & sounds software, that will offer an interactive option of ''sounds like...'' calls. As an example:  I live in east-central Alabama, so we ...
