[Maine-birds] Re: Identification assistance by ear?

All,
Below is a link to the video (on google drive) I took with my phone.  You will need to have the audio at full blast to hear the bird call.

Thanks, in anticipation, for all your help!

Greetings,

I've had a bird in the vicinity since about May. I've heard it periodically of late but heard it frequently (read nearly all the time) at the end of May, beginning of June.  I do have a video (audio) of the call - however it's faint as the video recording is from my phone and picks up on the vehicles from route 4 as much as anything else. If I can figure a way to attach the video, I will.

The details: the call goes up in pitch, it ascends. I wouldn't call it flute like quality, but it is pleasant. I have an app on my phone that plays a prairie warbler as a bird whose call ascends. Sounds similar. Are there other birds that sound similar to prairie warblers?The bird in question is similar as the pitch only ascends, it does not dip back down nor any undulating. Heard throughout the day, more so midmorning to midday, less so in late day early evening.

My location is Auburn, on the Turner border just off route 4.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
