Today while working in the yard, I heard an unfamiliar bird

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

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.
