1. It's not a nfc, but everyone who guessed at my quiz, said I should
post here: http://trash-birder.blogspot.com/2010/03/mystery-sonogram-1.html.
Cliff notes: Try and guess the bird from the sonogram first and if you
can't do that, guess from the sound file linked below it.

2. Spring migration on the east coast.   Is there less interest in
spring nfc than fall nfc on the east coast?   It seems that there are
probably fewer birds; however, the night air in March and April should
be much "cleaner" without all the insect noise.  Are there any other
interesting differences between spring and fall nfc?

3. When do the sparrows start migrating in the spring?  With the
winter that we've had, it's hard to tell if the birds from Jan and
early Feb died, decided to move further south, or have already
departed to the north.
