Andrew,
The first call is a Virginia Rail. Check out Lang Elliott's Stokes Eastern Birds CD for I nice example of this call, which is apparently given by females. I can't quite make out the second call on your recording, but it doesn't sound like a cuckoo to me. best, Michael O'Brien ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andrew Albright" <andrew.albri...@gmail.com> To: "nfc-l" <nfc-l@cornell.edu>, edni...@verizon.net Sent: Tuesday, April 6, 2010 10:33:58 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: Re:[nfc-l] Willow Flycatcher, Cuckoo, or similar nfc's in Delaware http://soundcloud.com/user3781125/4apr10-lewes The first one is the one that I thought sounded Willow Flycatcher=ish. Also, not sure about the second one - kind of sounds like a Cuckoo - but that would also be pretty early. Any better ID's?
