Re: [cobirds] Mystery birdsong

Anything that goes Peep Peep Peep Peep Peep this time of year sounds like a young bird begging to me.  Are you near a creek?  I had one of those Peep, Peepers that I hunted down and it turned out to be a Mallard duckling separated from its parents.

We have been hearing a novel birdsong around Boulder, on the South Boulder Creek trail and along the roadside of SH 170 to Eldorado Springs. "Peep peep peep peep peep peep peep" all on one pitch: D# about an octave above Middle C; with the "peeps" spaced about 1/4 second apart, or the 7-note phrase just under 2 seconds. Clear, loud. I pride myself on song recognition, but don't know this one. Help!
