CLOSED: Mystery bird?

We just moved to Poulsbo, Wa last year. We hear a very distinct bird song spring, summer and now fall. My name is Mary, and this bird sounds like it is calling my name...maareeee, maareee. I have searched the internet trying to find this bird. The closest song seems to be the towhee Do any of you have a suggestion of what this bird may be? Thank you very much.

Mary, welcome to Dave's Garden. Our area has many Rufous Sided Towhees so that may be the bird you hear. I see them all of the time in the yard but am afraid my hearing is so bad I wouldn't recognize a call if it was sitting on my shoulder. :-) Sorry, I know that's not much help.

Dear Bruce,
Thank you sooo much. Mystery solved!! I looked up Rufous sided towhee and this is exactly the bird I am hearing. I have even seen this bird scratching in the woody area behind our house, but I did not know he was making the bird sound I was hearing. You are my hero!!! Thanks again. Mary

Glad it was the right bird! I do so love watching the animals wandering through my yard.
