I did a very fast browse through my overnight sound data, early this morning. It was very quiet on the warbler and sparrow front. Predominant species was Swainson's Thrush.
Here's a rough break down: 4 Yellow-billed Cuckoos 2 Black-billed Cuckoos 2 Indigo Buntings 1 Alder Flycatcher 15+ Gray-cheeked Thrushes (estimated) 65-75+ Swainson's Thrushes (estimated) Also, I stopped in at the Hawthorn Orchard this morning for about 45 minutes. Extremely quiet. Though, I was surprised to hear two distinctly different Wood Thrushes singing: one down in the North ravine, where I've been periodically hearing one; a second one was singing up in the Hawthorn Orchard in the Northeast corner. Both were counter-singing. Of note, House Wrens seem distinctly absent compared to pass years at the Hawthorn Orchard. Good birding! Sincerely, Chris T-H -- Christopher T.
