Some Answers

From the folks on the Bloomington Birds Listserve:
______

I'll try -
1. Don't know video games, but maybe Black-throated Green Warbler,
possibly Yellow-throated Warbler.
2. Ovenbird, classic description of the song.
3. Red-eyed Vireo
4. LouisianaWater thrush
5. Yellow-billed Cuckoo

_____

First one sounds like a prairie warbler. Check this [photo].



The mystery singing bird could be a red-eyed vireo. Sounds like you got
the rest of them right according to your descriptions of habitat and size,
etc.


_______________________________________________________________

The prairie warbler is dead on! That's exactly what I saw. Here's a link to the rising trill. Someday technology will allow us to record songs and search for them that way, but until then... thanks for your help!

I'm glad to hear the cuckoo, waterthrush, and ovenbird sound right. As for the vireo... the song of the vireo on Cornell's All About Bird's site is not the one I heard. Any other ideas? I'll keep looking.

Lake Monroe, Southern Indiana

Yellow, one streak either side of breast, heavy stripe under eyes. Warbler-sized. Rising trill like a video game "power up." Canoeing, in tree, near shore, Lake Monroe, southern Indiana. What could this be?

Unknown Birds, Shenandoah National Park, Virginia

Teach'er, Teach'er - crescendo... from treetop. Brown bird, heavily streaked, warbler size. On ridge top. Is it an ovenbird? Do ovenbirds sing from treetops? What else would this be?

Whatcha doin'? Me, too. Second phrase downward-slurring. Or: Are you lonely? Me, too. First sounds like a little kid asking; second sounds mournful. Small-brown, warbler-sized bird. Sings full-out from a treetop, like a common yellowthroat. Common in woods from stream to ridge.

At stream. Small thrush or large warbler sized. Brown, heavy white eye-stripe. Dappled, spotted or streaked. Wood thrush, spotted sandpiper or Louisiana waterthrush? Guessing waterthrush. Any other clues?

Yellow-billed cuckoo... rufous wing from above. Like a large cardinal. Too large for a cardinal, I think. What is the best strategy to find this vocal bird?
