So that we are all talking about the right sound in this soundscape.
I painted the image of the sound I am trying to id. This deletes a lot
of the other birds and of course adds some artifact like sounds too. 
But it illustrates better this quiet, slow "electronic like whistle".
 I am convinced from listening to many examples that it is a natural
sound but still have no clue as to what it is.
