While out yesterday at a local patch, I ran across this song. Could never get my eyes on the bird, but did a short audio recording.

The song happens 3 times in the clip, starting at the top. Repeated note slightly rising in pitch.

Thx for any feedback.

Northern Parula??

Thx for the feedback and help. I believe that's correct and we're seeing them starting to return to San Antonio, so makes sense as well.

I am new to Bird Forum, or at least this is my first day back again on it -- and I am very interested in audio recordings. I listened to yours several times. I believe it is a male and female Carolina Wren, or perhaps another wren. I haven't been to San Antonio, Texas, but Sibley's map of the distribution of Carolina Wrens, seems to make that a possibility. The female gives a rattle call in response to the male's melodious though repetitive song. On your recording both birds can be heard three times. If you go to eBird and listen to some Carolina Wrens there, you may hear both male and female singing together like on your recording.

There is both a Carolina Wren and a Northern Parula in the recording. The bird the OP was interested in identifying is the parula, which is singing the rising trill.

Not sure on one of them but I do believe I'm hearing Wren.
