Andrew, I recorded from 9pm-5:30am. I'm having a bit of trouble with my sorting in GlassOFire so will have to redo that in order to see when most of the calls were, but they started pretty early and I had some each hour of the night. I only had two or three Hermit Thrush calls that I could see in GlassOFire. I also got a gull about 1am (?) and some other weird noise I may have to send on for the group to help me out with. This is my first season so I feel a bit like I'm in a whole new world :-)

I recorded about 5 hours last night and listened to about 2 hours (10:30-12:30am) of that and had only ~20 calls. So not nearly as many as you but the diversity made it worth listening to: some higher pitched warbler/sparrow calls, some mid range calls and then two heron-like (Great Blue and something else), and then an interesting shorebird repeating call. It wasn't a nfc but last week I encountered interesting flight calls about 30 minutes before dawn. I was running when I heard a Fish Crow flying over a very surburban area, then another call and then I looked up. I stopped and counted 71 Fish Crows. I just checked Ebird and the high county for Montgomery County is only 35.

After a couple weeks of north winds and 1-4 detections a night, things are hopping now!
