Blackburnian also has a very high, thin, "tseeeeee" at the end of the song.  I'd say this bird is an American Redstart.  AMREs have a very wide range of calls.

Good birding,

I've compared the sonogram of this song to a variety on xeno canto, and this one seems to have components of Blackburnian songs on that site. I went to a different location this morning and heard another bird singing a very similar song type, but again couldn't see it (it was across a lake). I'm looking for some feedback on whether others agree with the ID as blackburnian. Any feedback would be appreciated. See xeno canto link for recording.
