let me tell you a story...
ever since I moved into my house, every morning when I go out to pick up the paper, I hear this bird singing. When I told people that the song sounded like 'peder, peder, peder...',
well, they looked at me and slowly backed away while saying 'right..'
I have saved a wave sound file. You will hopefully be able to hear what I'm talking about..

Finally, in May 2002, I found my proof.
I was visiting the Heard Natural Science Museum and Wildlife Sanctuary and saw a small plaque that described the bird and it's song.
(check out my photo album from that trip)

Here is a description of the tufted titmouse
