I just saw a Swainson's Thrush feeding on Gray Dogwood berries, as well as
a Golden-crowned Kinglet and a Nashville Warbler nearby in my yard.

All -
Just spent 1.5+ hours listening to flight calls. Radar showed very dense
movement (some returns over 35 dBZ!), local conditions low cloud ceiling with a
light misty rain. Calling rates approaching 60 calls/min (~50 counted in one
timed minute, but varied). Lots and lots of Gray-cheeked Thrush, several per
minute. Definitely in the hundreds of calls--never heard this many before! 5-7x
as many Swainson's Thrush as a rough guess, plus assorted warblers and sparrows.
I was listening in a field/parking lot on the Cornell campus. Can only imagine
what it was like at Mt Pleasant or other better spots.....
