I listened to about 30 minutes till the rain became too loud. Swainson's Thrushes were going continuously, some were very low. Several Grey Cheeked thrushes, I think there were probably some Indigo Buntings or sparrows of some sort, which seem to be coming in constantly too but not as frequent as Swainson's . Then I also heard a Yellow-billed Cuckoo and a Black-billed cuckoo. Coyotes howling in a distant. Then there were some birds, which sounded familiar but I cant place them. When rain approached the birds seemed to have come lower down. Right when I started listening there was a train which was passing Ithaca downtown so kept honking every few seconds for at least 10 minutes and there were so many cars passing by even at this time of the day. But in spite of all that I enjoyed listening to the birds overhead. I did get some recordings of some very low flying birds.
It is such a fun while waiting copying 83.4 G of photos to passport drive!

Over 80 Swainsons and 30 Gray-cheeked in the first 20 minutes if listening.
