First of all- many thanks to all who have responded.  It's like diagnosing
your car over the phone, except harder because of my lack of ability to
describe a sound in words.

I have had several good choices and links to websites with sounds.  The best
site for that seems to be the MCCauley library @ Cornell.  It had many sound
bites.  I did find one that is a very close match- although this was not one
of the tracks on eSibley or a birding CD I have-  all this tells me that
there may be many variations to a bird's song and no one is conclusive.  I'm
sure many or you know much more about this then me.

Any way..... the winner appears to be.... a White-eyed vireo... there was
one soound bite that was very close.

Thank you very much one and all-

hayward

Subject: Identification question
To: [log in to unmask]


This is a long shot because I am trying to identify bird by a call which is
hard to describe.  Any way- yesterday I was on small lake in woods in
Lawrence County.  The bird was making a call like "Chick..Chick oWEEo"  It
repeated this numerous times and then, 15 minutes swithced into another
variation.

I did not get a good look- but I think about the size of warbler.  I thought
perhaps a yellow breasted chat, but none of the songs in my CDS etc. had
that specific call.  Then I thought- perhaps a vireo, but also- none of
songs matched.  Didn't match thrasher, catbird, towhee or anything else I
could think of.

Not much to go on I know, but hoping someone mught point me in a direction

thanks-
