    Debbie and all,
    This sounds to me like the calls, rather than the
    song, of a Purple Finch. I remember being confused by
    this call because of it's somewhat vireo-like pattern.
    The flight call of a Purple Finch is more often
    described at a "pit" rather than a "whit" but I assume
    that is what is being referred to here. 
    Hope this helps,
    Steve Glover
