Within the past week or so, some sort of critter has taken up residence in the wall between my kitchen and my patio / backyard. It stays silent most of the time, but occasionally (like today) it makes a very loud "chirping" sound. To my ear, sounds kind of like a bird, but I thought I'd post an MP3 recording of it that I made with my iPhone and see if any of you folks might know what this thing is. The recording is about 1 minute long, and you'll hear the critter chirping about 4 different times.

I think whatever it is, it normally lives in trees, cause I heard a similar sound today from up high in some tall pine trees in my neighbor's yard while I was outside. The only real possibilities I can think or are squirrels, birds, or insects (like a cricket or cicada?).
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Or, if anyone knows of a better forum or website for getting help identifying sounds like this, I'd be grateful for a URL.
