Hi All, I've provided a link to download a recording made on 9/16/10 (yes, I'm backlogged!) at 1:18 AM in Rye, NY. It's midwinter so I'm a bit rusty, but sounds to me like an Acadian Flycatcher calls four times (at the 1.9, 15.8, 24.4, and 29.5 second marks), getting louder and then receding. Also some other thrush and grosbeak calls in there--good ID practice!
Evans and O'Brien note in the Acadian Flycatcher species page: "Not known to call in nocturnal migration but presumed to do so occasionally based on the behavior of Least Flycatcher," so I figured this might be of some interest (assuming my ID is correct). The link to download the file from my Google Docs account (apparently the file, at 1.8 MB, is too big for this list) is: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B7WSVg6XfhnQZjBjMjY3NGQtOWE5YS00NjQ0LWEwOGUtOWE1ODI0ZDBjNzE0 or, http://tinyurl.com/7szgm7q Happy to hear any thoughts!
