Dave,
In your recording I am able to hear mostly Swainson's Thrush and some Wood Thrush, along with a few others, perhaps Scarlet Tanager, and a few "zeep" calls and maybe one or two "up seeps". The audio is very hard to hear so there could easily be more. I didn't pick out any for-sure Gray-cheeked Thrushes. I should also point out that eBird requests that counts of nocturnal flight calls be entered under a specific protocol and in a very specific way. The reason is so that these counts of nocturnal calls do not skew the analysis of "stationary" and "traveling" counts that are used by day, when detecting birds is done much differently. More information on how eBird requests nocturnal counts be entered is here: http://help.ebird.org/customer/en/portal/articles/1010492-entering-nocturnal -flight-call-counts Things that should be corrected on your checklist include changing the protocol from Stationary to Nocturnal Flight Call Count, changing the count of "passerine sp." to X and moving the count of 500 into the notes field (although most of these are Swainson's Thrush), and changing the answer to "are you submitting a complete checklist" to No. Here in Pittsburgh the past two early mornings have been outstanding listening, with hundreds Swainson's Thrush and many other calls just in the period between astronomical and civil twilights each morning. Gray-cheeked Thrushes have started moving through here too. When everything is analyzed I expect there will be in excess of 1000 calls of Swainson's Thrush alone, and perhaps double that number for total flight calls, for each of the overnight periods Sept 9 and 10. Good listening!

Can you send the recordings as whole directly to me? Yesterday night we were at mount Pleasant and among at least 30 or forty calls we had one or two Gray-cheeked. At my home pout of 100+ calls I did not get any Gray-cheeked.

I know I had SWAINSON'S THRUSH and VEERY. I am pretty sure I had a GRAY-CHEEKED THRUSH and also WOOD THRUSH and ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAKS. I also had some unidentified calls. So I amplified the audio, and uploaded to ebird. To my dismay, the spectrogram shows nothing but you can still hear calls. Can someone listen to this and let me know what I had?? Its 7 minutes long. I would appreciate anyone's take on this... see http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S39101824 Thanks Dave Nicosia -- NFC-L List Info: <http://www.northeastbirding.com/NFC_WELCOME> Welcome and Basics <http://www.northeastbirding.com/NFC_RULES> Rules and Information <http://www.northeastbirding.com/NFC-L_SubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm> Subscribe, Configuration and Leave Archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/nfc-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html> The Mail Archive <http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NFC-L> Surfbirds <http://birding.aba.org/maillist/NFC> Birding.ABA.Org Please submit your observations to eBird <http://ebird.org/content/ebird/> ! -- -- NFC-L List Info: <http://www.northeastbirding.com/NFC_WELCOME> Welcome and Basics <http://www.northeastbirding.com/NFC_RULES> Rules and Information <http://www.northeastbirding.com/NFC-L_SubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm> Subscribe, Configuration and Leave Archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/nfc-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html> The Mail Archive <http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NFC-L> Surfbirds <http://birding.aba.org/maillist/NFC> Birding.ABA.Org Please submit your observations to eBird <http://ebird.org/content/ebird/> ! -- -- NFC-L List Info: Welcome and Basics http://www.northeastbirding.com/NFC_WELCOME Rules and Information http://www.northeastbirding.com/NFC_RULES Subscribe, Configuration and Leave http://www.northeastbirding.com/NFC-L_SubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm Archives: The Mail Archive http://www.mail-archive.com/nfc-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html Surfbirds http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NFC-L Birding.ABA.Org http://birding.aba.org/maillist/NFC Please submit your observations to eBird! http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
