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 ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Hayward Chappell <[log in to unmask]> Date: Tue, May 31, 2011 at 11:23 AM 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- hayward Chappell lawrence county -- Hayward Chappell 766 Private Rd. 3952 Willow Wood, OH 45696 -- Hayward Chappell 766 Private Rd. 3952 Willow Wood, OH 45696 ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
