Help identifying a bird by its call

Ladies and gentlemen, I do believe that we have a winner here.

And it looks like I've been confusing that bird with the common sparrow as well.


Sorry to bug ... the reveal only shows up here as a black square ... is it the cardinal?
 
Check this link out. They offer info plus sound samples. I crank up the sound of a hawk to chase the squirrels around my yard. It's a trip :)

That is an awesome website. I found it a year ago. I had a Northern Cardinal sitting on my wall outside, and I played the call from the site and another one promptly showed up. They were looking around like, "Hey, we hear you, but we can't see you!", it was hilarious.
 
I can tell almost instantly what is going over in the spring and fall day or night by sound. I used to pass shoot ducks and geese. Sand Hill Cranes are extremely distinctive with their weird cackling croak calls.
