It sounded like: Right cheer, right-right, right-right-right-right-right-right. With variations on the number of rights, but it always began with Right cheer. Anyone recognize it? |

Go to this page http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Northern_Cardinal/id and click on 'Typical Voice' then click the arrow to play. Cardinal songs vary quite a bit; they can be quite the composer, but the recording gives you a sense of their pitch and timbre. |

Anyone? Dave Oesterreich |

They can be quite chirpy but also make what is described as a 'wheezing' sound, which could be the chur-chur-chur sound you describe so well. I know my UK birds but can't help out on the N.American ones! |
