I too have a song i.d.; I am sure this is some sort of local
sparrow, but it's driving me nuts! It sings in my back yard,
here in Seattle, and has that quavery human-whistling character
that is like, say, a song sparrow.
The song is three notes, each of fairly equal length, in
a descending triplet. This particular one (I tested it against
my piano) is G# - F - C#, two octaves above middle C.
It reminds me irresistably of one of the Brandenburg Concerti,
which begins the same way.
Any ideas?
