This is a guess the bird game, only one problem,  I have only one
small clue, not because I am trying to be tricky, but because I
have only heard it and never saw it.  The bird has a most unusual
song and I'll try to explain as best I can.

Here it goes.

It sounds like it is whistling through a long tube (if you ever did
this you know what I mean).  And it makes this sound in 3 or 4  whistles
that start high and kinda end low.  And the only time i remember hearing
it is in the early evening before dusk.  Now , I live in North New
Jersey and I hear this guy in the woods behind my house.  I live be
watershed property which also has some ponds in the area.y 
watershed property and there are also some ponds nearby.  Good luck and
the clock is ticking!

Nora
