Thanks to all who replied with what is surely the answer - olive-sided
flycatcher. Not a bird I would have expected to have around, but I guess I
did, though I never saw it. Note my call I recorded sounds much faster than
the one on Cornell's site, but otherwise I think it's a match.

I'll try to go tonight and see if I hear the bird again but I am guessing that
will be doubtful.
Jon, perhaps this is the answer for you as well.
PS: We also seem to have orchard orioles. I haven't seen baltimore orioles in
a couple weeks or so, but have seen male orchard orioles. Anyone know if
orchard orioles also eat oranges?
