All,

I've posted recordings and description here:
https://ebird.org/checklist/S92613736

I'll repeat my description:
I was shocked to hear this bird as soon as I stepped out of my vehicle. It
was singing from across the road SE of Morningtide about 100 yards down the
driveway with the tiled entrance markers. At one point it moved east of the
old basketball court. I spent several minutes making sure it was not some
alternative call of OSFL or PSFL, of which there are several in the area.
It sang at least 20 times over the course of 40 minutes (8am to 8:40am),
usually giving two "peeee-o-wee"'s followed by a "wee-o". After this, it
only vocalized once, around 10:30am. I observed it only once rather high in
the dark canopy; no photos obtained. It was obviously a pewee, slightly
slimmer and more petite than OSFL, with proportionately thinner bill and
longer tail than OSFL.


The bird sang repeatedly from 8am (when I arrived) to about 8:45am, during
which time the gaps between songs grew progressively longer. My suggestion
would be tomorrow morning early. My understanding is this is the first
record for western Washington and the 2nd or 3rd for the state.

good birding,
