I have uploaded an audio clip of the Dickcissel from this morning (at 2:47 AM), as well as a spectrogram frame-grab, showing the characteristics of this flight call. These can be accessed by going to these links:
Audio: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/111007.024749_DICKCISSEL_Etna_NY.wav Image: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/111007.024749_DICKCISSEL_Etna_NY.jpg Note, the audio file is five seconds in duration, with the flight call occurring at approximately 2 ½ seconds into the clip. This particular call consisted of five distinct note peaks and with a single fainter introductory and closing note, for a total of seven identifiable peaks. I simply didnt expect to detect anything on the recording from last night, given how quiet it was, let alone get something as good as a (another!) Dickcissel flight note. Good birding!
