Hi Nathan and fellow NFCers, For fun, here's that single one minute song sequence of a passing Alder Flycatcher over Etna, NY on the night of 21-22 May from about 01:58-01:59. The clip has been converted to MP3 and is only 8bits, but you still get that doppler shift effect as the bird passes over. Apologies for the truck noise; that's from the Route 13 highway, 1/2 mile away.

Your clip definitely sounds much more like their typical call, easy to distinguish. Nathan Sent from my iPod On May 24, 2012, at 1:34 PM, "Christopher T.

This year, I recorded Alder Flycatcher songs/calls at the following times: 15 May - 23:30 16 May - 00:33 18 May - 23:10 19 May - 04:13 20 May - 01:44 21 May - 01:38 22 May - 01:58-01:59 (sequence, neat doppler) 22 May - 03:04 23 May - 00:59 Keep in mind, I've been hand browsing the sounds. Anyone else out there doing hand browsing? Attached is one of the nicer clips. Sincerely, Chris T-H On May 24, 2012, at 1:01 PM, Nathan DeBruine wrote: Chris, Thanks for your help and quick response. My first impression was also Alder Flycatcher, just didn't realize they were heard that often during nocturnal migration. Thanks again, Nathan On Thu, May 24, 2012 at 12:47 PM, Christopher T.

I�ve recorded a handful of Alder Flycatchers in the past few nights, usually repeating their call constantly as they fly over, or repeat their �pip� calls leading up to the �re-eeer� call.

It sounds too exaggerated to me for Gray-cheeked Thrush, and reminds me of Alder Flycatcher. Would really appreciate hearing other opinions. The sound should be attached.
