Hi All, This call (attached) was recorded in May 2011 in Rye, NY. My first impression is a Lapland Longspur rattle call, choosing that over Snow Bunting because the call seems to be more descending than rising (see the Flight Call Guide). However, the late date gives me pause, as both species have for the most part departed by April, definitely by May. It's very faint in the recording but doesn't seem right for Belted Kingfisher to me. Thoughts welcome!
