My son and I were out there this evening, too, and we heard lots of peents and saw several aerial displays (some in pairs and others single). Heading down Snyder Road towards Hanshaw Road afterwards we had a lovely long look at a Barred Owl perched right along the south side of the road (about 8pm). Also, a Cooper's hawk earlier in the evening on the airport fence along Warren. What a night!

I arrived at 7:20 p.m. and at approximately 7:35 p.m. I began to hear the distinct peent sounds coming from the thickets on the north side of Snyder Rd. and about 75 feet from Mohawk Rd. Within five minutes to ten minutes the bird flew up about 25-30 feet and crossed over Snyder and over the gravel yard and descended into the hedgerow to the left (east). That was my only sighting but it was well worth the effort. Good birding.
