I find that there is a great deal of individual variation in bird song, this
is likely what you hear. Another good local example is the Carolina Wren, I
don't think any two sound the same.

Subject: [va-richmond-general] Titmouse Question


    While we were at Bryan Park this morning, we heard a sound like "TEE
ker, TEE ker, TEE ker," slow and evenly spaced. The suspect in question
ended up being a Tufted Titmouse (actually, there were two of them doing it,
apparently calling to each other), but none of us had ever heard that
particular Titmouse sound before. It wasn't at all like the usual "peter
peter peter." Neither Kaufmann's nor National Geographic mentioned a call
like that (ditto Stokes and Sibley). Anyone else ever hear a sound like that
before from a Titmouse?
