That's cool, Sean. If it was the same bird, then that would be a cruising speed of a bit more than 60 mph--seems a bit fast, but note that migrants on passage this morning have a tail wind out of the southeast.
Also at Greenlee Preserve this morning: *eastern warbling vireo, least flycatcher, gray catbird,* and an interesting *wood-pewee.* Acoustic analysis of the wood-pewee's calls will have to wait a bit. Anyhow, there's stuff out there, and with a bit of an easterly, or, at least Midwestern, flavor.
