Nathan, These two sound clips contain calls that sound and look like what I might interpret as Rose-breasted Grosbeak. The latter file is the same type of call on top of another call that could be another, slightly lower frequency RBGR. Do others concur?

I have attached the first one (will try to attach the second in a subsequent email since it otherwise seems to exceed the limit). The first, from 2:21 AM, is maybe a shorebird/peep of some kind? The second, a sequence of calls from 3:00 AM, does seem reminiscent of American Golden-Plover, but then again I'm not sure. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Overall it was a good flight, and I had 140 warbler sp. (mostly zeeps and upsweeps, with a couple downsweeps), and 12 thrushes. Here is a list of the NFCs I have identified: Killdeer Eastern Screech-Owl (local bird) Barred Owl (local birds) Swainson's Thrush Ovenbird American Redstart Chestnut-sided Warbler Savannah Sparrow Rose-breasted Grosbeak Thanks in advance, and good night listening!
