My thanks to ALL - your responses to my birdsong ID request were much
appreciated. Following the initial posts, I Googled Cornell and All
About Birds for Northern Parula but their song did not match what I had
heard (and I don't recall any mention about the fact that there were two
songs) but when Donna pointed this out - BINGO - I was hearing the A
version! Special thanks to you Donna - that's what it was and I can now
get on with the rest of my day!!!

<pre wrap="">Hi Eleanor: I'd agree with Richard Stern, that your bird is a Northern

The Red-eyed vireo is more reminiscent of the Robin, but with pauses between
each phrase, and the males really wears himself out! It can get a little

I feel I should know this song, which I have been hearing relentlessly
around my house for the past week - but for the life of me can't think what
it is and it is driving me nuts!
It starts with an upwards-rising, slightly staccato schreeee which abruptly
ends with a downwards cheeow and just goes on endlessly repeating. I've
managed to get only one brief glimpse - a smallish bird which looked darkish
amongst the leaves against the sky......................
ANY suggestions will be most welcome!!!
