Last night, I recorded from about 9pm to 6am, plus I kept the earbuds in all night to listen live, when awakened by louder flight calls.
I have only perused some of the night sounds recorded overnight. There was a near constant movement of vocal birds throughout the night. There was not an apparent classic thrush descent (recently occurring around 5:30am) but Veery, Wood Thrush, some Swainson's Thrush, and grosbeak calls were pervasive throughout the night. Warblers were also ever present throughout much of the night. I think I also heard a couple of Bobolinks and some Savannah Sparrows in my stupor. Other highlights include: Coyote pack calling a few times throughout the night Eastern Screech-Owl Black-crowned Night-Herons (2) Green Herons DICKCISSEL (nice classic call at 1:07am) Plus some interesting unidentified sounds which I may post later today or tomorrow. Good night listening! Sincerely, Chris T-H -- Christopher T.
