All, Out here in southwestern Washington State, I have a steady flow of very vocal Swainson's Thrushes flying over every night. Like others on this list serve, I've noted that the number of calls increasing dramatically about an hour or so before dawn. I've often wondered if they are calling this commonly all night and are just more easily heard as they descend or whether they call more frequently near dawn.
Keeping my eyes and ears skyward.
