I just went outside to listen (NW Longmont residence), and heard a bunch of thrush calls. Over a period of 8 minutes I had 40 thrush night flight calls (mostly identified as Swainson's Thrushes). This is a weird weather pattern to be hearing so much night flight calling. The culprit seems to be the thunderstorms currently in Texas making mid-level outflow and driving the birds down to less turbulent air. Usually one would expect to get a decent night flight during low clouds/overcast, but this is crystal clear skies. Many birds easily heard.
Had only two non-thrushes, but they were both upward "tseep"s that I wouldn't dare make a call on.
