Hi everyone:

I have been doing a lot of birding in the last little while, and still  
come across the odd bird sound that I don't recognise.

http://myweb.dal.ca/pmkelly/MysterySong.mov

This one has been driving me nuts as I feel I should know it. It was  
calling repeatedly from a large area of regenerating pine and spruce  
(all about 2-3 metres high) and likely a Christmas tree lot.

The other one I came across today and could not get a clean recording.  
It was in mature deciduous, with a some mature conifers on the road  
that goes to the tower at the top of Martock. I did get a glimpse of  
it, as the call followed it from one side of the road to the other,  
but with the lighting all I could really see was that it was the size  
and shape of a warbler. I have listed to the entire warbler section on  
Stokes but can't find it. It is like the black-throated blue. but it  
does four fairly loud "squaks" with to change from first to last, and  
they are slower than a black-throated blue, so that you hear each one  
with just a pause between each.

(By louder it was louder than a black-and-white warbler would be at  
the same distance, but not as loud but closer to that of a parula)

Any ideas? Thanks.

Pat
