Good morning folks. I have a pair of birds that stop by my home late morning and early afternoon. They are quite elusive so I've never gotten a really good eye on them I believe them to be brown larger birds but their song is unique and I've been searching for weeks I'm hoping you can help. This is a clip of song only

Oh thank you so much! I'm brand new and not sure how this works yet. I sure do appreciate your help.

I have no expertise in North American birds, but it sounds rather like a Blue Jay.

Thank you Waxwing. There is a Jay in the clip however the loud wee hoo sound is the one that I've never heard before

It has been a long time since I lived in Blue Jay country, but I think the "wee hoo" sound might be one of theirs. They definitely make a wide variety of calls.

There is a fun story relating to jay vocalizations by Mark Twain, known as "Jim Barker's blue jay yarn" or "What stumped the blue jays". Since it is reported to have involved birds in California I suspect Steller's Jays were the actual protagonists, but Blue Jays are closely related and have similar vocal abilities. You might find it amusing.

Thank you, I did watch a ten minute video on blue Jays songs. And it said they can mimic all sorts of noises perhaps that is what it is I really need to try to get a picture on the day that I thought I seen one singing it was brown.
Thanks so much
