morning song, York county, Maine, USA (1 Viewer)

[Viggen61]

The past few mornings, I've been hearing a clear, whistle-type song. Not sure if it's a warbler, or other.

It has two parts, first part is three notes, descending, repeated once , followed by two notes, ascending, if I recall, also repeated once, for a cadence like:

1-2-3, 1-2-3, 5-4, 5-4 or similar.

There is no buzzy quality, or trilling, or other, just clear tones.

We've had some storms blow up the coast this week, so could be a vagrant.

Location is near Kennebunkport, Your County, Maine, USA.

Thanks for any direction you an give me.

Perhaps a Baltimore Oriole? Their songs are quite variable but match your description of the tone. Here's an example of a two-parted version: http://www.xeno-canto.org/178046

Baltimore Oriole was my immediate thought as well.

Thanks for the suggestion. It certainly could be. Usually I hear Orioles singing all hours, but this one seems to only sing in the early hours....

White-Throated Sparrow? Just a suggestion.
