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).

Hi Will,
The relatively low pitch and rough quality sound just fine for Gray-cheeked.
This is a good illustration of how some Gray-cheek calls can be less arched
than "typical".

Benjamin et al.,
This one also sounds fine for Barn Owl in terms of tone, pattern, etc., and not
right for Great Horned. But odd to hear it doubled like that. They usually give
single, well spaced notes.

Ethan,
This sounds fine for Barn Owl to me. Their call frequently has a slightly
rising inflection, as this one does.

don't know, but it does seem to
work. It would be interesting to do some summer monitoring to see what patterns
emerge.

This sounds like a good match for Virginia Rail to me.

Still, it's really cool to hear a nocturnal migrant in mid-winter, and great to
document it!

Ted et al,
In heavy flights, usually record an x for each species and indicate
the number of calls/minute in the comment field (for each species, if
possible). Anyone with better ideas?

Hi Benjamin,
Both of these calls sound fine for Least Bittern to me. Just a little
variation.

Hi all,
Andrew brings up an interesting question about midsummer nocturnal flight
calls. As he suggests, I think there are a variety of different behaviors going
on here. In the case of cuckoos, their midsummer nocturnal flight calls usually
seem to be associated with good breeding
Erik,
This sounds like a Common Moorhen. They do a variety of muffled clucks like
that.

Andrew,
The first call is a Virginia Rail. Check out Lang Elliott's Stokes Eastern
Birds CD for I nice example of this call, which is apparently given by females.
I can't quite make out the second call on your recording, but it doesn't sound
like a cuckoo to me.

Michael O'Brien

Very cool! Makes sense when you see large numbers o
they seem to be less vocal. It
would be interesting to know what others have observed and if the situation is
different elsewhere. My guess is that the main difference, if any, is that
robins call more frequently in certain situations and fly more quietly in
others.
good listening!
Michael
All,
I have the impression that Blue Grosbeak and Passerina buntings are sexually
dimorphic in their flight calls, higher pitched in females, lower in males, but
have never tested this in any rigorous way. Has anyone else looked into this?

Ted, et al,
Re MacGillivray's, I don't have any recordings but I have heard them give a
husky "seet" much like that from Mourning Warbler.
