Today I listened to a blue-headed vireo singing and calling for quite a while, hoping to get a Confirmed code for the atlas (nope), and heard a new sound. I wondered if it had special meaning.
The call started as chatter at a higher pitch than usual, rising and accelerating slightly before transitioning into a whiny descending whinny. The last part was reminiscent of a sora or, maybe, the three stooges. The whole thing took 2-4 seconds.
I've been through xeno-canto, iBird, and allaboutbirds without finding anything like it. I didn't make a recording. Does my description sound familiar?
