My best guess is to fall back on one of my favorite "universal birding rules"?

"If it's in your yard and you don't recognize it, it's a Bewick's Wren."

Today while working in the yard, I heard an unfamiliar bird song. I never saw the bird. Also, it stopped singing before I could record it. However, I did record my imitation of the song.

Then, using the WOS checklist of Cowlitz County, I went to Cornell?s website and tried to listen to the song of all the birds in the last two columns starting with Flycatchers. No luck. I skipped the ones I was certain were not the owners of the mystery song.

It sounded like this to my ears: ?Tweedle deedle (slight pause) oodle oodle oodle.? The first two notes were the same and slightly higher than the last three notes, which were also the same as each other. I put the ?d? in the syllables to indicate that the sounds had almost a yodel to them.

Clear as mud? Anyone want to venture a guess as to what bird I heard?
