Observation details
I was shocked to hear this bird as soon as I stepped out of my vehicle. It was singing from across the road SE of Morningtide about 100 yards down the driveway with the tiled entrance markers. At one point it moved east of the old basketball court. I spent several minutes making sure it was not some alternative call of OSFL or PSFL, of which there are several in the area. It sang at least 20 times over the course of 40 minutes (8am to 8:40am), usually giving two “peeee-o-wee”’s followed by a “wee-o”. After this, it only vocalized once, around 10:30am. I observed it only once rather high in the dark canopy; no photos obtained. It was obviously a pewee, slightly slimmer and more petite than OSFL, with proportionately thinner bill and longer tail than OSFL.
