Cedar Waxwing Call (1 Viewer)

[jibberish]

I live in Chicago, and have hoped for some time now to see a cedar waxwing.

I believe I hear their "seeeeeee" call.

Is there another bird's call that I may be mistaking this for, or is the cedar's call pretty exclusive to them only?

Cornell university makes an app called "BirdNET" that attempts to ID calls. It's far from 100% accurate, but it might give you some other suggestions of similar sounding calls to look out for.

American Robins have a high-pitched "seeeee" call that can sound similar, but it doesn't have the slight raspiness of a Cedar Waxwing call.
