Hey, all you birders by ear out there, maybe you can help me with this one...

There is something outside my office window that sings a very distinctive
song all day, but I can't think what it is--probably a House Sparrow or
something else really common and/or non-native :-P.

Anyway, the song goes something like "Haw, hee, chewy, chewy, trrrrr". For
those of you with a musical frame of mind like mine, the song sounds like it
is in a fairly slow four beat (I'll mark the beats with |'s):

|Haw |Hee-chewy |Chewy-trr |rrrr

[Haw = quarter note; hee = eighth note; chewy = 2 sixteenth notes; trr =
eighth note; rrrr = trailing off through last beat]

I hope that makes some sense to someone out there! Now, what is that bird?
