Try Parula Warbler - google the sound and check a field guide.

I have been bombarded over the past few weeks by a frequent, very monotonous
birdsong from the trees surrounding my house and which I heard for the
first time briefly last summer. So finally, at the risk of not
recognisingsomething terribly obvious, I'm
seeking ID assistance:
The bird is very elusive, flitting around from tree to tree around my
house, mostly high up and I have only once caught a glimpse high above me
which was at least enough to confirm the bird's movements matched the calls.
What I could see gave the impression of a sparrow-ish sized bird with a medium
length beak, some yellow and ? a little white on the breast. I got the
impression the wings were darker and possibly there was a hint of wing
bars- but it was a very br
ief glimpse. I have tried with no success to match this with warbler,
sparrow and any other similar colour/sound description in my Peterson Field
Guide and now turn to NatureNS.
I have never before attempted to give an idea of a bird call, but here
goes: a slowish husky/buzzy/raspy ascending *c**huuurrrrr* ending abruptly
in a quick descending *cheow* endlessly repeated all day long.
Hopefully,
