This recording was taken today in a mature forest, mostly maple, hemlock and oak. It is a simple, slightly downslurred whistle repeated at even intervals. From what I could tell, the bird was fairly high up in a tree but I could not see it. Does anyone have an idea of what this might be?

Sounds like it might be a thrush, probably closest to Swainson's thrush although I'm not sure.

Yes, a Swainson's does sound similar, such as this recording, but is of a lower pitch and the notes are not downslurred. This is not to say that there is not variance among their calls, so any other suggestions?

I can't figure it out, maybe a begging call from a baby bird?
