As I wander in the timber here in the mountains late May through August I here this bird singing "heebe jeebe jeebe . Drives me nuts to see one and learn what it is called ! I do see some Juncos in the woods but not singing ! In conifers at 4500 to 6000 feet . Any ideas ?
You can ride a fast horse slow but you can't ride a slow horse fast .
Keith and Danny I don't think it is those . I did see one Chickadee near this sound . I am familiar with their early spring song and it could be a new one for later . I will get the Merlin app . Thanks to you all .

Yup.Years ago before I figured out what they were,,,I even called them "heebe,,,,jeebe birds". That's why I knew right away what the OP was referring to.
Yote trapper and upstate ,no that is not the right sound . The habitat is lodgepole pine ,doug fir and ponderosa pine ,the bird obviously likes the trees as I have never heard it in the openings . Thanks for helping . I listened to every common bird song on merlin that I see in this area and so far ------ .We are wood cutting for 2 days late this week so I will report .

top canopy forage bird Ruby crowned kinglets, they are very responsive to pissting calling and will come down if there is branch cover around you usually follow BC chickidees good hearing is required for their song notes to be heard in Europe they are called Fire Crest as their skull cap red patch is exposed when alarmed
