I'm wondering if anyone can help me ID a bird that visited my backyard near  
Mills College in Oakland the other day.  Its song, while unfamiliar to me,  
was so distinct that I thought I would be able to identify it from my CD's--but  
no.  
 
The song had three distinct parts: a fairly brief, single-nonmusical-toned  
"chatter" (some might say "trill"); an ascending whistle; and three bell-like  
notes.  The bird sang the song about ten times before flying away.
 
I had a very poor view of the bird.  It was about the size of a  large 
sparrow, probably brown (the light was bad), with a sizable tail that  bobbed 
lightly as it sat, mostly obscured by a branch, in the crook of a  tree.  I could 
see no markings; neither could I see the head.
 
I'm hoping this means something to somebody.  Thanks for  reading!
