Thanks I listed to them all and no hits. It sounds closest to a Cardinal mating call but not quite it.

Mockingbirds? They imitate other birds.

Check out the sound clips in the website for the Carolina Wren, they sound like an alarm.

If it is very early in the morning it might be screech owls. We used to have them seasonally calling in the AM before our next door neighbor cut down the big tree they lived in.

That site has many, if not all, North American bird sounds. I was looking at Brown Thrashers, and it said that they have even larger repertoires than mockingbirds. They're hard to spot, too.

It doesnt sound like the Carolina Wren or the mockingbird unless its repeating a louder and more annoying call than the ones on the website lol.

I would love it, if it was Screech Owls. I have seen them around but they sound different than what we are hearing. We also have a big nesting of Barred Owls in the woods behind us and they get in the trees by our bedroom window and put up a racket of monkey noises some nights. They are hysterical. I hear them some afternoons too in the little meadow area between us and a neighbor.

It sounds closest to a cardinal mating call but it consistently has only two "notes"/syllables to the call with the second being a slightly higher pitch than the first. It waits a few seconds before repeating it. It Doesn't sound like a typical chirpy songbird or a crow or hawk etc. It does sound a little astroid or video gameish but it is loud!

I guess I should get some binoculars so I can try and see it. Maybe some small ones w a camera in them so I can take a photo and then I can look it up. This has been going on for several years every spring so its probably a mating call of something lol. I will have to look at reviews on amazon lol.

For those who love owls, this is the cutest most relaxing video ever! Bathing baby owls cooing, a light breeze, soft windchimes...I could just put this on repeat and sleep to this lol

Maybe a Blue Jay? You know, it might be a frog. Bufo toads have a horrible screaming sound.

I dont think we have Bufo Toads here, at least I havent seen any lol. Do they get up in trees?

Sultry can you record it for us? As a 40+ year birder I may be able to ID it for you.

I will try. Can u upload recording on here? I guess I could put it on you tube and link it. I am hoping to get a visual too.

Bea, do u have a pair of birding binoculars? Do u have any recommendations?

I actually have 2 pairs plus a scope. Hubs and I are hard-core birders gor 40+ years. I'll give you a couple of links tomorrow. I'm out for the day.

Sultry I was going to point you to a great company where we got our binocs and scope but sadly they closed shop after 30 years. I asked my FB birdibg group for a recommendation and will pass it on as soon as I get one.

Sultry a respected FL birder posted this on my inquiry on my birding FB page.
