Now that I see a little renewed activity on the list I will give a delayed mention of the fact that I heard about two warbler calls a minute for about 15 minutes around midnight on April 19th in interior west central Florida (Bushnell, Sumter County). In past visits in that area I have only heard the occasion nocturnal flight call so I was interested to hear more sustained calling that night although I think a front had just passed so things may have just opened up. Seemed like a lot of Black-and-whites, some redstarts, palms, black-throated blues…
Calling rate died down after that initial 15 minutes. I had stayed up late to watch a West Coast NBA playoff game so to the opportunity at half time I think, to step outside and listen for a bit.
