Last night (9/23-24) was fairly active here on the east side of Cleveland, too. I had about 550 sparrow/warbler frequency calls. The night before was even more active, with about 900 calls in the upper frequencies. I'm not checking thrushes at the moment, because it is too labor-intensive to pick them out of the traffic noise, but I did notice /very/ dense thrush calls in the early morning of the 23rd.
