Is there an agree-upon list of NFC that are unique? I.e. There is little or
no overlap with other species so that when you hear this call you can be
reasonably certain what species.

Andrew,
I'm not aware of any widely-agreed-upon list. Together with my graduate
student Claire Sanders, I recently published a paper in *Condor:
Ornithological Advances* where we compared NFC monitoring to banding data
in eastern Lake Erie:
Acoustic monitoring of nocturnally migrating birds
At about 5:00 a.m. Aug. 5, I heard about 20 flight calls of Veery as birds
descended into the woods around my house in southeastern PA. The birds
switch to using more familiar diurnal calls shortly after they land in the
woods. Based on those calls, about 5 birds were present. Has anyone with
I'm a bit southeast from you in Montgomery County. I've only started
recording the last two nights with very few NFC heard (less than 5 per
hour). I've heard no thrushes.
Is it possible the Veery are just doing short range post breeding migration?
Tonight looks to be much better on the radar
Dan,
The chart (Supplement S1) that you mention is exactly what I was
looking for.I'd consider myself a beginner/immediate nfc listener
and your chart is a great resource and will save me a lot of time in
trying to lookup, identify and confirm my guesses.
For example, I just heard a "tseep"
