Diane and I have been up late tonight listening to the live stream from the roof-top microphone.
We were absolutely thrilled to hear a BARN OWL call four times in succession (about 10-20 seconds apart) as it flew directly overhead. Barn Owl is an extremely rare bird for Upstate New York. The attached file is the loudest call from this individual. COOL!!! Good night listening! Sincerely, Chris T-H PS - A single Dickcissel called once early this morning (9/26) at 5:30am. That was also heard live, as I was listening to the thrush descent. -- Christopher T.
