Hello everyone. Been racking my brains out trying to figure out what is making this noise in the tree. Cant see it with binoculars. I thought about coming online to try to describe it but that would not work...so I said I know, ill record it on my phone! Sure enough it worked.

I have attached a mp3 sound of the noise. The sound I am talking about appears at 2:10-2:16 on the sound file.

I am in fishkill New York, this was heard during the day and evening.

Welcome to BirdForum. That is the song of a Red-bellied Woodpecker. Tree frogs make similar sounds, but the cadence of that song marks it clearly as a Red-bellied.

Yeah - the other sound is the call. They will do that all year. The ones that come to my feeder do that as well. The song they sing only around breeding season.
