Night migrant. Heard from out window. Gave three calls, the typical distinctive, long, high-pitched screeches, the second call louder than the first and third, apparently as it passed overhead. I listened for a long time afterwards but did not hear it again, nor have I heard it on subsequent nights of listening. Not sure what direction it was moving. Only other possibility would be juvenile Great Horned begging calls, but call quality and short burst of calls in flight rule that out in my mind." *********** You received this message because you are subscribed to eBird's Rare Bird Alert for Tompkins Manage your eBird alert subscriptions: http://ebird.org/ebird/alerts -- Chris Tessaglia-Hymes Listowner, NFC-L Ithaca, New York [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> NFC-L – Archives<http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html> NFC-L – Welcome and Basics<http://www.northeastbirding.com/NFC_WELCOME> NFC-L – Rules and Information<http://www.northeastbirding.com/NFC_RULES> NFC-L – Subscribe, Configuration and Leave<http://www.northeastbirding.com/NFC-L_SubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm> -- NFC-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NFC_WELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NFC_RULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NFC-L_SubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NFC-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NFCL.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
