Help identifying Bird Call- Northwest Pennsylvania (3 Viewers)

[Beetlbrite]

Hello! Today while sitting outside in my backyard, I came across this bird call. I’ve never heard anything like it before by my house. It was either perched in a tree or in a shrub- I couldn’t get close enough to tell as it was in my neighbor’s yard. Any help would be appreciated!!

A bit thrush-like... American robin? (complete guess).

I thought the same thing, but going through thrush calls for the species in my area, nothing matches the sound or cadence that it had

Don't think I'd've called it a cadence, but... I could imagine the thing that made some of these sounds...

XC417028 American Robin (Turdus migratorius)

Given by a fully-grown juvenile low in vegetation.

...might have made some that you recorded?

Sorry, I’m a percussionist ^^; cadence has a different definition to me haha

I’m just not sure because the sound it made was the only sound it made for several hours… if it was a Robin, Im more curious than anything why it was only making the one sound.

Begging juvenile? - if that's what it was. They're terribly persistent.

Oh that makes sense! Thank you sm

Definitely American Robin (with American Goldfinches in the background).

I've always heard that as an alarm call. Were you sitting near a nest by chance?

I'm going with our American Robin as well.

BTW, a warm welcome to you from those of us on staff here at BirdForum
