Yesterday, while exploring a small wooded park near a stream in Potomac (miraculously untouched by developers, with tall mature trees all around), I heard a bird call that sounded like "oh YOO-hoo" repeated several times -- reasonably loud, not too fast, and seemingly coming from relatively high in the heavy foliage. Any idea what it may have been? My guesses range from a Tufted Titmouse being creative, to maybe one of those Olive-sided Flycatchers that have been passing through the area lately (though it didn't sound "quick-three-beers"-y enough). Thanks for your suggestions.
