Greetings, I just spent over half an hour outside listening for night migrants. There seems to be a pretty nice movement of birds. I was hearing at least one bird every four seconds, usually two and at times three in that same period. I was listening from 22:45 - 23:15. Most birds sounded like Swanson's Thrush but I did hear Bobolink, Veery and Ovenbird as well. Along with a lot that I couldn't ID. All of this was discernable even with the noise associated with I-86 (nee Rt. 17). I could only imagine how good it must be to listen from the quiet countryside. Great Night Birding to All!
