[nfc-l] Long-billed Dowitcher flight call over San Diego, CA

[Jay K]

Folks,

I think this post may kick off the season for night flight calls in the 2010 
spring migration.  Forgive me if I have missed a post or two.

While sitting outside here in San Diego a little while ago, I heard the flight 
call of a Long-billed Dowitcher overhead, which I recognized immediately.  
There aren't really any good spots in the immediate vicinity where this species 
would transit between in a normal situation, so I believe it would constitute 
an early Spring migrant, which I believe starts in late February for this bird 
in these parts.  I am about 10 miles inland from the Pacific Ocean.

Jay Keller,
San Diego, CA
