[nfc-l] huge flight last night, more to come over the next two nights

you can read my post from this morning here: http://www.woodcreeper.com/ but I think it's safe to say that calling in sick and heading to Cape May never looked so inviting. No weather is expected which would cause localized fallouts, but the promise of NW winds for the next three nights, and the

[nfc-l] 9/14 morning flight, Berks Co., PA

There were 45 minutes of nocturnal flight calls on nw winds from 5:30-6:15 a.m., averaging about 1/sec. at the beginning and about 3/sec. at the end. Most calls were of Swainson's and Wood Thrushes, with many fewer calls of Veery and Gray-cheeked. There was a good candidate for Bicknell's

Andrew, I agree w/ Tom Johnson. However, with distant recordings not sure how you would rule out possible Lesser Yellowlegs. I have a similar call (on which I leaned towards a Greater) posted at: http://www.nightmigrants.com/main/page_species_calls_greater_yellowlegs.html Mine is also
