Re: [nfc-l] help with a mystery call from a few years back

Andy,

I think you may have been on the right track with shorebird. It reminds me of 
an interaction or chase call of a small Calidris sandpiper (presumably 
Semi/Least in your area).

RE: [nfc-l] help with a mystery call from a few years back

2013-02-22 Thread Caitlin Coberly 
I have weeks and weeks of house sparrows calling throughout the night at one
well lighted, heavily populated roost location.  Still occasionally hear
them at night in the city.

Sure sounds like House Sparrows (at least through my phone). Maybe something
disturbed their roost?

The attached call has bugged me for some time. Sounds a bit finchy to me,
but time of night (12:30 AM) doesn't coincide with predawn movement. Only
finch possibility left around my house in May would most likely be House
(outside chance at a Purple). House sparrow possibly? First time I heard it,
cadence struck me as shorebird, but I have never been able to match it to a
particular species. I am stumped.

Thanks for any help.
