[EBB Sightings] Can anyone ID this song?

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
