Hi all: On September 9th I heard an unusual double note bird call coming from
the cattails at Huntley meadows
in the early afternoon. Basically all I have is this description.
There were only two notes, which basically were somewhat high
pitched. "Deet Deet"
The two notes were separated by about a second in time and the
former seemed to be of equal pitch
as the latter.
After each double note there was a pause of about 20 seconds before
another double note, and
then the cycle would begin again.
To help narrow down the search, I do not think that this was a
Winter wren as I know that call.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
