Took a while to figure this out. Tell me what you hear
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPUtW6pG51gTwo separate audio clips. The picture has nothing to do with the sound recording.Napper :)
I heard at least two "drink your tea's" but we do have a Cat Bird around.

While you are waiting for a learned response to your inquiry I feel that your contribution needs to be respected by a response from the peanut gallery. I have very meagre audio memory skills that remain completely in keeping with my ancillary deficits, but nonetheless I offer you what I believe might be the source of some of your bird calls. I think that I can hear: Chipping sparrow, Song sparrow, Chickadee, Yellow warbler, Robin, and a distant buzzy warbler call, such as a BT Green. You see, I've already forgotten the others. Take my advice and never get old. You forget everything and are too lazy, and too obtuse to even write down stuff so that you don't need to rely on memory. I suppose that I could listen again, for the third time, but I'm also impatient and the progress bar is so slow and therefore reminds me of how I walk when I get up in the morning. Did I mention that I was lazy? OK, I'm not really that old, but birth certificates can be deceiving. I don't trust them.

Dag nabbit, I just remembers another one. A trill of some description, like a Northern Parula. This is embarrassing.

Tanks!  It is difficult to see the birds here, as they are at tree top level or move so quick ya cant get an id or an image.
I bought a Tascam sound recorder to see if I could capture bird sounds. I quickly found out that there are no audio sharing  web sites. I had to  use @#$tube
with an image attached to share the sounds.

Had a Wren land 5 feet away on a Lilac tree today, I didn't move and it stayed for 60 seconds. NO Camera!
p.s why do we people pronounce Lilac as Lie lock?

Well, there's the secret ... just don't move. Often twisting your body slightly, or turning your head will not elicit flight but bodily translation by even a little will come across as a threat. I imagine that your Tascam device has built-in microphone(s) which are quite possibly omni-directional, whereas a directional pick-up might isolate your subject sound and discourage off-axis ambience, unless that's what you're after. Around this manor we all say "lie-lack" and anyone who might say otherwise is banished to the ritzier side of the tracks. What bugs me even more is the gradual disappearance of sibilant "S" in the English language and the replacement with the invasive soft mushy "SH" sound. If you have a incisal diastema that allows air to escape, assuming that it doesn't excape, then crisp sibilant might prove elusive but otherwise shtreet, or is it strasse, would be more satisfying to my ear as street. Right now it's so noisy on my shtreet because of the conshtant conshtruction. It really is just too much. I think I'll go water my lylock@homes.
