Unknown call, childhood memory-- Morning, Autumn? Polk Co. Arkansas, maybe Multnomah Co. Oregon (1 Viewer)

Hello all, posting here for the first time to ask about a call I remember from my adolescence that, despite repeated efforts, I've never been able to match to a YouTube video. It's a call I remember hearing frequently in the morning that I was fond of. As such it was most likely in Polk or Garland County, Arkansas, where I grew up. It's possible however that I'm misremembering and it was in Multnomah County, Oregon, where I went to college. To the best of my recollection I'm thinking autumn, in the morning, in AR. I don't have a recording, but I've attached my impression of it. The pitch may be a little bit higher or lower but the melody was distinctive. Two long ascending tones, followed by three to six shorter tones of the same pitch. If anyone can ID this just from my imitation I'd really appreciate it, and be pretty impressed!
