Early this morning, I did a very cursory review of all audio data from the overnight recording, by hand browsing through spectrograms using Raven Pro. Last night, birds started vocalizing around 9:10pm. Once again, predominant species was Swainson's Thrush with second most predominant species being Gray-cheeked Thrush.
There were significantly more warblers and other high frequency calls overnight last night compared to the night before. Here are the highlights/notables: 8 Black-billed Cuckoos (including one cooing sequence) 3 Yellow-billed Cuckoos 2 Alder Flycatchers 45+ Gray-cheeked thrushes 200+ Swainson's Thrushes 2 Veeries 2 High-frequency sparrow-type calls, containing modulation I made another brief visit to the Hawthorn Orchard at 8am. Best birds included a single Gray-cheeked Thrush foraging along the ravine edge down from the Northwest corner and two territorially combatant Wood Thrushes – one attempting to define a territory in the Northwest corner and the other in the adjoining Northeast corner. Good birding and night listening! Sincerely, Chris T-H -- Christopher T.
