Here in eastern PA, I too had an excellent night of listening. Unfortunately the treefrogs and spring peepers were quite loud last night. Nevertheless, in about 30 minutes of listening around midnight, I tallied close to 100 yellow/blackpoll type calls, three Yellow-billed Cuckoos, a couple of Indigo Buntings, Scarlet Tanagers, Swainson's and Gray-cheeked Thrushes, Veery, and a single Virginia Rail.

I will process the file visually in RavenPro later, but some highlights... Lesser Yellowlegs (new yard bird) Black-crowned Night Heron (new year bird) Sora (new yard bird, new year bird, local rarity on ground--though probably had one last week and haven't processed the recording yet) Bobolink Black-billed Cuckoo--at least 5 detected while I was listening Yellow-billed Cuckoo--2, including one I heard at 2:30am through an open window as I was getting in bed Gray-cheeked Thrush--at least 8, will check a couple to see if they are actually high enough to be Bicknell's Lots of yellowthroats, redstarts, and yellow/blackpoll type calls. It's been a tough migration, with lots of bad nights, but last night was one of the better nights!
