Yesterday in my yard in Riley County ks https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/656539065

Sounds like Spizella call notes. Not sure which one you would most likely have at your location, Chipping or Clay-colored...

[Kansabirdguy]

Sorry this bird

[Aidan B]

Almost 100% sure that's a Swainson's Thrush. I just started having the first ones flying over my place a couple of days ago.

[Kansabirdguy]

Okay I maybe didn’t find the bird I heard in this recording then
The swth call note is an extremely familiar sound to me and there was a nearby one at the time

[Kansabirdguy]

Still can’t turn this into Swainson’s in my head
The rough sound is not distortion at least if it is the bird I heard

[Kansabirdguy]

The bird I heard called once from behind where a Swainson’s thrush was and sounded almost flycatcher like to me
People are saying this is a typical swth call note so maybe not the bird I heard in the field but doesn’t sound like swth to me
