Birds never sound to me like they're saying words (except some birds
in cages).

If you're in North America, the Northern Flicker is supposed to sound
like "flicka flicka flicka". (Unless you're in part of the Southwest,
where you'd have Gilded Flickers saying the same thing.)

Thanks Jerry, it is definitely saying "Ricky".

Pat -- in Central Virginia where today was too warm for a heavy sweater.

I can see where a cardinal's territory call might sound like "Ricky,
Ricky." Look for a red bird in the top of a tall tree.

Thanks Lanny, I do have a family of cardinals so they might be the ones
doing the calling. I was lucky enough to watch one learn to fly last
summer.

'ppreciate the help.

Carolina Wren? I always thought they sounded like "cheeseburger,
cheeseburger, cheeseburger," but "ricky, ricky" might fit too.

I doubt it would sound that way to me.

There are recordings of all the common North American birds on the
Web, so you can listen to the ones people have suggested. With the
caveat that I just mentioned that cardinals in different places sound
different, and the same is probably true of some other species.

Another possibility might be the American Kestrel.

I think chickadees say their name when they call

I've always thought the cardinals sound like they are saying "pretty birdy,
birdy, birdy, birdy"

Cardinals have very different "dialects". The ones where I grew up,
in northeastern Ohio, say something closer to "whit whit whit tew tew
tew tew". I've heard that the two-syllable ones are showing up that
area, though. (That was from a woman who was surprised to hear her
husband's name--"Peter Peter Peter...")

Oh, I have heard that sound too. Depends on what they are trying to say I
guess!

To me, the Titmouse sounds as if it's saying "Peter, Peter, Peter".
