Hi Beverly,
What about a Veery? Aside from its beautiful flute like voice, it also makes
call notes that sound like "phew" and "veer".

Thanks for all who responded. It's not a wood thrush, eastern wood pee wee,
carolina chickadee, eastern towhee, or tufted titmouse.
I'll search on the tn wildlife resource site and report. It's two notes. Any
further ideas would be welcome!

Hello all,
I'm hoping that someone can help me ID a bird that hangs around my yard. I've
never seen him or her, but the song stops me in my tracks. I'll try to
describe: it has two notes, usually of the same length, and sounds like the
most resonant bass flute ever. For the musical among us, the notes are on the
one and the three notes of the scale. As a further clue, the song "Doe, a Deer"
think of the notes on "doe" and "deer."
A few weeks ago, I heard the same song, but with a very short first note and
longer second note. Maybe a young'un learning? The good news: it was answered!
I listened to two birds singing the same song back and forth. Mating song,
maybe?
I would say it's some sort of warbler, but I've been through a bunch of online
warbler songs and didn't hear that particular song.
I could
never be called a serious birder, but I do love hearing them and seeing them. I
live very near the Cumberland River (less than 1/4 mile) and my house is
completely surrounded by trees and dense green growy things, so I hear lots of
birds and only see the ones that stop by the feeders, or that I happen to
glimpse in the sky.
I really enjoy this list. Thanks to all who may know what this critter is.
