Thank you everyone. The consensus seems to be Canada jay and perhaps the end whistle should have alerted me to that species. Quite the vocalists they are. And I suspect N Goshawks are largely silent this time of year.

I have heard it only 4-5 times in the same area with the greatest distance being 2km apart. Never see it. It calls a few times then it stops. I was lucky enough to catch the end call on my iPhone today before silence. A strange call with an odd ringing shrillness that seems to slow and peter out at the end with a descending whistle. Any thoughts? Amplified only. Not necessarily a passerine but that was a convenient place to put it for now.
