Bird Song - Tallahassee, FL, USA (1 Viewer)

[Hallawhosit]

Hello! I have heard this bird song several times now, but I have yet to see the bird that is singing. I keep searching the trees with my binoculars to no avail. I've listened to numerous recordings of birds that are found in this area trying to figure out what this is, but I'm having no luck and it's driving me crazy! Ha! I usually hear the song in the afternoon between 3:00-5:00, and it usually sounds like it's coming from up in a tree versus a shrub, if that's any help. I'm including links to two videos I took with my phone since I don't have audio recording equipment. The first is 8 seconds, the second is 13 seconds and there are some Cardinals competing with it in the second video. Any help is appreciated!

Perhaps an exotic passerine of some sort? I don't recognize it as a regular eastern US bird.

Could it be a Tufted Titmouse singing a weird song?

I finally saw it! It WAS a Tufted Titmouse--great job! It was in the tree right outside our backdoor today. I found it with my binoculars and watched it alternate preening and singing its funky little tune. I went back inside to see about catching it on video, and it had flown off when I came back out. Maybe next time. At least I know what it is, though! Thanks again!
