Hi all, I have been recording in Ithaca NY for last few days. I am finding an interesting pattern in number of calls recorded per hour (between 9.00 pm to 5.30 am). My recordings of the calls peak around 3.00 am in the morning. So I am not sure why that pattern. Whether that is the time when they are ready to touch down so they fly low in search of good locations or something else is happening? I am curious to know how others are finding. If any Ithaca recorders are out there have you looked at the pattern? Bill Evans who has been recording form Danby area in Ithaca sent me a pattern for one day and that day it peaked around 1.00 am and it also at higher elevation of 1500 ft, while I am at at 821 feet.
Here is the actual data. [cid:654fdc38-bd64-46fd-98a3-b0a04ac87acd] Any thoughts are welcome!

The first one is a "double-up" warbler mostly likely one in the genus Oreothlypis (Nashville, Tennessee, and Orange-crowned). I would lean toward Tennessee for this one due to the nice bend in the spectrogram. When I first looked at the second call, I thought it was a Magnolia Warbler due to the spacing between humps, but on closer examination its high frequency, number of humps, depth between humps, and somewhat descending character fit better with Cape May Warbler.
