Observation details
Continuing bird first found by Aidan Kiley yesterday morning. Heard calling intermittently but regularly, no more than once or twice a minute, near 41.2013524, -73.2527436. Heard from the parking lot, the road, and the trail. The main call was the "tu-wee," sounding very similar to the short call of an Eastern Wood-Pewee, but slightly shorter and ending below 4000 Hz (unlike the EAWP which ends around 4500 Hz; the combination of duration and pitch giving it a slightly more emphatic ending). The second call, which we heard only once, was the descending arc — which is in the Macaulay Library, but only a variant of one of the example calls on eBird. There are no examples of Pewees making a call like this; we also heard no long Pewee calls the entire time we were there.
