I've been trying to get these posted for a while but have had technical difficulties. Please put your birdy ears on and help if you can. Thanks!
I've heard three birds/sounds lately which I cannot identify. Here is the first one, heard yesterday by Penns Creek. The bird was rather plain, with light/white front and gray back and wings--I didn't see any distinguishing field marks, due to the bad light and quick view. Here's the call:
Wait a second.... Is that a veery? It is, isn't it?
Okay--the other two. First, a recording of the chock sound I heard a few weeks ago at the Coburn rail trail:
Second, another mystery sound, recorded that same day by the creek at the Coburn rail trail:

I don't know, that first call is veeryish but not like the veery calls I hear at Hasty is the summer. Too gurgly/warbly/random.
Numbers two and three I couldn't make out. I'll listen later with earphones.
Do you watch BSG? :)
Here's what I hear:
1. Warbling Vireo
2. Red-eyed Vireo and Red-bellied Woodpecker
3. American Robin singing plus one warblish fragment near the end
That first is a warbling vireo - I'll agree with John.
Couldn't make anything of the other sounds, either!
Any progress with your birdJam? That'd help.
;-)
I don't know but I love the sounds!
Did I attend too many rock concerts? 'Cause I can't hear a thing.
Lynne--no, I don't watch TV at all.
John--warbling vireo, okay! I did think the pattern did not match the veery's, but the tone certainly did. On the second one, I'll have to listen to both those calls. So you DID here the chocking sound, right? On the third--darnit, it's been so long since I heard it that I can't remember! (can't play videos at work)
Laura H--some progress with Birdjam, but I need to convert the AAC files to mp3s, for which I need an audio CD (not a data one), and I just haven't had time to go get one. But I will do that soon, and then it will be PERFECT!
Fran--Glad you like it! I love taking videos on my camera.
Susan--PUMP UP THE VOLUME, JAM, JAM!
The chocking sound in the second is the red-bellied woodpecker. They have a few different vocalizations. The red-eyed vireo is singing in the background.
John, I listened to the RBWO call, and you're right--that is it. Thank you! It was a real mystery for me.
I would like to add that the warblish fragment that Johnmentioned sounds like it might be a Louisiana Waterthrush to me.
