Hi Diane The song is a Blackburnian Warbler. It stutters in the middle like a Cerulean but ends by going very high at the end - almost off the audible scale for most of us - rather than ending with a loud "zreee" The habitat is right for Blackburnian up there As well.

We walked the trail from there up into Hammond Hill State Forest. Most of the birds were pretty quiet in the light rain. About 20 minutes up from where the trail enters the woods,though, there was a warbler singing from the tree tops that we were not familiar with (this was at about 9 AM). We never did see it, but Ken recorded it with his iphone so that we might identify it when we got home. Now that we are home and comparing this to other warbler songs, to us, it sounds like a Cerulean Warbler. Have others heard/seen Ceruleans there? Here is a link to the recording--sorry that the quality is poor and very faint. Can someone either confirm this as Cerulean, or let us know if it is something else? Thanks, Diane Morton & Ken Kemphues Sharing sounds is new to us-- not sure how to prevent the site from playing the Sapsucker Woods Barred Owl recording just after the faint warbler.
