This is one of those threads about songs, well it is a song but whether it's folk or not??????????

During the last week. I watched and listened to the Masters Golf, coming from Augusta, Georgia. I do this every year, but more for the look and sounds of the place than the golf. I have not been to the US and I find it very enjoyable to listen to the strange (to my ears) calls and songs of the local birds. Among them, there is one in particular that stands out.

Can anyone help me identify a bird that we call in our house, The Golf Ball Warbler? I'm sure the bird is so common there that locals probably wouldn't even notice it. The call/song is a very strident low-hi, low-hi, low-hi, low-HI and the microphones there pick it up very well. The problem is I can't eliminate anything else, or narrow it down, as they are all new to me and I have no point of reference.

Despite raising your suspicions, this is a serious request (but not THAT serious). Many thanks already to Barbara (bless her), who is very kindly sending a tape for me and Joe Offer, who despite wanting more threads on songs, failed miserably to be of any help at all on this one. *smiles*
