It does sound thrush-like, but is not typical of any of the thrushes in this area except possibly for a Robin. I have never heard this song/call come from a Robin though. It doesn't match recordings on the Cornell site. It starts mid-range, then up, then mid, then down, then mid. There is no answering call. My thought is that is a lonely male Robin desperately seeking a mate. The habitat consists of very large, old maples and other tall, mature tress in a neighborhood about 1/4 mile from the Cleveland Metroparks. If it would EVER STOP RAINING we might see this bird. Always seems to be in the upper third of trees. Any thoughts? > Red eyed vireo comes to mind. I remember camping under a large tree with a vireo above, singing morning to night. I love birds, but this vireo drove me nuts!
