Birds never sound to me like they're saying words (except some birds
in cages).
If you're in North America, the Northern Flicker is supposed to sound
like "flicka flicka flicka". (Unless you're in part of the Southwest,
where you'd have Gilded Flickers saying the same thing.)

Thanks Jerry, it is definitely saying "Ricky".

I can see where a cardinal's territory call might sound like "Ricky,
Ricky." Look for a red bird in the top of a tall tree.

To me, the Titmouse sounds as if it's saying "Peter, Peter, Peter".

Cardinals have very different "dialects". The ones where I grew up,
in northeastern Ohio, say something closer to "whit whit whit tew tew
tew tew". I've heard that the two-syllable ones are showing up that
area, though. (That was from a woman who was surprised to hear her
husband's name--"Peter Peter Peter...")

I doubt it would sound that way to me.
There are recordings of all the common North American birds on the
Web, so you can listen to the ones people have suggested. With the
caveat that I just mentioned that cardinals in different places sound
different, and the same is probably true of some other species.
Another possibility might be the American Kestrel.
