Bryan, Thanks for that easy-to-read website. It is pretty simple afterall.
Anyone record last night? I was all excited for spring recording minus all the insects like I hear in the fall. However, I didn't fully realize how early the American Robins start up. I'm estimating that it was about 3:30am and if I'm reading David's woodcreeper site correctly, migration in my area was heaviest from 3 until dawn. I listened pre-midnight and even moonwatched (only a few days past full moon) and saw and heard nothing. And listening for about 30 minutes of last night's tape, only some Canada Geese.
