What bird is this?

[conuly]

It has a high pitched, flute-like song. Two notes, a low and a high, and it runs like this "Low high hiiiiiigh" or sometimes "Low high hi-high".

I've heard it in the morning when walking my nieces to school, and now I'm hearing it in the afternoon, but it's a cloudy day out.

Can you record it? I can forward it to a bird watcher friend of mine, but she couldn't guess from this description alone.

If I could, I would not have described it :(

It's a pity search engines don't read minds. (Then again, maybe it's NOT.)

It would be nice if they could only read your mind when you explicitly instructed them to do so - and no one else could instruct them to read your mind.

Well, rats.

[conuly]

No, birds.

Also try this site. Scroll to the "How to listen to a Song" section. Check out the ones under "liquid or flutelike." Is it like that?

It wasn't the three you linked to, but I'll try listening to the range of bird songs. Sooner or later I'm bound to hear it, right?
