Tufted Titmouse [Franklin]

Hi all

Update: numerous folks pointing out Tufted Titmouse calling is highly variable.

Another bird call recorded this morning that remains unidentified and “perplexed” BirdNET id tool.

Your ID help?

One birder mentioned “might be a Carolina Wren”(?). Other suggested Tufted Titmouse.

iNaturalist writes “I think the cadence better fits Titmouse. I would expect there to be many more calls in the series, or other wren sounds for a Carolina Wren.”

Received new insight … “It’s a Carolina Wren. The cadence and emphatic middle note are both distinctive. In the most similarly structured titmice songs, the individual notes are blurred together with neither of the syllables having noticeably more emphasis like your call does.”

Thanks
