In south central PA (Somerset) there was fairly heavy calling activity between 10:30-12:30am. There was a fairly significat fallout during the night early am hours of Fri/Sat here. A lot of those birds were still around in decent numbers yesterday, and things were fairly quiet this am, so I suspect a lot of the birds that fell out the last several days with the rain here moved out between showers last night.
