hi Shawna, I found this

The Mountain Chickadee, also are more heard than seen, has a distinctive "chick-a-dee" call. They are also referred to as the "cheeseburger bird" due to their spring/summer call that sounds similar to "cheese-bur-ger".

Here are some more just for interest

Paul, Minn. — Here are the phrases that birders use to identify bird calls:

Yellow warbler: Sweet, sweet, summer sweet.

White-throated sparrow: Oh sweet Canada, Canada, Canada.

Black-throated blue warbler: I am so lazy.

Olive-sided flycatcher: Quick-three-beers!

Golden-cheeked warbler: Lazy daisy.

Chestnut-sided warbler: Pleased, pleased to meet you!

Great horned owl: Who? Who? Who?

Prairie chicken: Old Man Muldoon, Muldoon, Muldoon.

Blue jay: Jay! Jay! Jay!

Tufted titmouse: Peter! Peter! Peter!

Red-eyed vireo: Here I am, way up here, see me?

Black-capped chickadee: Here sweety.

Least sandpiper: Creeep! Creeep! Creeep!

Warbling vireo: I'll grab you and I'll hold you and I'll squeeze you til you squirt!

Ovenbird: Teacher! Teacher! Teacher!

Whip-poor-will: Whip-Poor-Will, whip-Poor-Will.

Great-crested flycatcher: Weep, weep, weep!

American bittern: Plum puddin, plum puddin, plum puddin!

American goldfinch: Potato chips, potato chips, potato chips.

Carolina wren: Tea kettle, tea kettle, tea kettle!

Ash-throated flycatcher: Tea-for-two, tea-for-two!

Rufous-sided towhee (Eastern towhee): Drink your tea!

Barred owl: Who-cooks-for-you-all?

Eastern meadowlark: See-you, see-year!

You people have to be Nuts! Birds don't sing anything special. Some birds are 'crazy' When I walk the dog at night,this is happening now for about 5 weeks,this crazy bird I think its a King Fisher, follows us for the whole mile just chirping at us. It stays about 6 feet away. But its there every night.Crazy bird!!

Ron listen up will ya. :lol: :lol:

Shortcut: Kill-deer, kill-deer, kill-deer

Song: The best-known song is a loud kill-dee, kill-dee, kill-dee, given as males perform wide circle-flights over their territories in early spring.

Call: Plaintive nasal alarm calls sound like k'dee... k'dee... k'dee-dee-dee, or a repeated deet-deet-deet-deet. Another distinctive call is a long stuttering trill, which may accompany courtship, aggressive encounters, and alarm situations.
