Bird ID??
I live in rock hill, SC(close enough to NC). And in my neighborhood is a bird I would like to know the identification of. I am not a bird watcher, and have no pictures of the bird. The only thing I know about the bird is that it seems to have the ability to make 50 or so different calls in rapid changes. It only stays on one call for 2-3 seconds and just keeps switching sounds. Also, it seems to LOVE to sing at night. It has woken me out of sleep at 12:00, 2:00, 5:00, etc. And it sings for HOURS! The worst part is it lives in a tree right across from my house and has very high pitch calls.

Does anyone have an idea as to what kind of bird this may be?
 
Sounds like a mockingbird to me too. Mockers are famous for their non-stop performances and varied repertoires and for singing at night. The worst of it should soon be over, however; once the breeding season winds down a little your bird will probably start singing much less persistently.
