Ted,

I'll take the bait.... My first reaction was Western Wood-Pewee, but your recording doesn't exhibit that raspy sound quality they have.  So I'll go with my second reaction, Lesser Goldfinch.

Fun games!!

Hey, folks. Alrighty, that last one was fun, er, "fun."

Here's a new one:

And another cut from the same bird:

You can hear several species in those two cuts, but the one I'm talking about is the slowly and rather steadily repeated whistle, falling in pitch a bit and wavering, uttered every 2-3 seconds. The bird vocalized like this for at least a minute at a time for much of the morning. Audio-recorded (and seen, so I know what it is) near the intersection of Lefthand Canyon Drive and Old Stage Road in Boulder County, yesterday, Wed., June 17.

Any takers?

Enjoy!
