I finally got a shot of a bird that I'd been hearing make this weird nasally whiny monotone sound something like "schway." It would repeat the sound a couple of times and then move to another location.
Can anyone help me ID it?
CLOSED: Red-eyed or Warbling Vireo?
Resin may be able to Id the picture but here's the audio of a Red-eyed Vireo scroll down for the audio it will be the song of the bird not sure on the call though, I had them in my yard up until the middle of July but never heard a call only the song.

Fairly sure it's not Warbling Vireo, as the dark eye line is too strong for this. Probably Red-eyed, but I'd not want to rule out Philadelphia on this pic. Going by the descriptions in Sibley, the calls for all three sound fairly similar and match what you describe. No doubt there are subtle differences but I'm unfortunately not familiar with them.

Thanks, Burd_Foto and Resin...I doubt if this is a Philadelphia since they are out of my range. Is it possible that a Philly was migrating through at this time?
I'll go with Red-eyed then..
Thanks y'all
Oh, and Burd...I had already listened to that recording on Whatbird and it is only of their song not the note/call I kept hearing.
Thanks anyway
Philly is mapped by Sibley as going through AR, but it's perhaps just a bit early yet for them to be moving that far south yet - I'd guess more likely next month. So yep, probably safe to assume Red-eyed.
Resin
Yeah ok!
