Put the microphone out on the driveway last night for first time this season. Fairly representative of species I have detected around this time of March over past years.
Corroborating with daytime reports on MDbirding of Tundra Swans and Ring-billed Gulls on the move, I recorded calls from 3-4 different groups of both species passing overhead last night. In addition had 2 Killdeer, a few groups of Canada Geese (sounded like the locals), an American Robin "Szeeert" call at 3:30 AM, wing beat whir possibly from a duck some sort, a cat fight and various dog barks. Will try again tonight.
