[cayugabirds-l] Night Flight - Etna, NY: 5/27-5/28
Early this morning, I did a very cursory review of all audio data from the overnight recording, by hand browsing through spectrograms using Raven Pro. Last night, birds started vocalizing around 9:10pm. Once again, predominant species was Swainson's Thrush with second most predominant species being Gray-cheeked Thrush. There were significantly more warblers and other high frequency calls overnight last night compared to the night before. Here are the highlights/notables: 8 Black-billed Cuckoos (including one cooing sequence) 3 Yellow-billed Cuckoos 2 Alder Flycatchers 45+ Gray-cheeked thrushes 200+ Swainson's Thrushes 2 Veeries 2 High-frequency sparrow-type calls, containing modulation I made another brief visit to the Hawthorn Orchard at 8am. Best birds included a single Gray-cheeked Thrush foraging along the ravine edge down from the Northwest corner and two territorially combatant Wood Thrushes – one attempting to define a territory in the Northwest corner and the other in the adjoining Northeast corner. Good birding and night listening! Sincerely, Chris T-H -- Christopher T.

[cayugabirds-l] SongbirdSOS Documentary
We are approaching unnerving times in regard to bird population decline. To learn more, please read the newsletter below and watch the trailerhttp://youtu.be/mLX0ul8oh0k for the upcoming documentary SongbirdSOShttp://youtu.be/mLX0ul8oh0k.

Sincerely, Chris T-H [http://gallery.mailchimp.com/99356e8078e3193671b56a9ca/images/0cd72f66-dc56-472a-9389-5d79ecb6712b.jpg] Newsletter #1 May 2013 We are happy to announce that filming for our feature documentary SongbirdSOS is nearly complete. We are in the thick of editing now but look forward to sharing the film with audiences in the fall. Humans share an intimate relationship with songbirds. The impulse to listen to their song and to capture them in our stories and music has existed for thousands of years. But this connection is in danger of being broken, as we have only half the birds now than we had in the 1960’s. Over the last year the SongbirdSOS crew has been following and filming the birds around the globe -- from Eastern Turkey to the Boreal Forest to New York City. We have touched down in places where songbirds are threatened and met the people from around the world who are working passionately to help them on their way. While our development and production journey started four years ago, our journey to share this documentary with you and other people interested in birds and conservation issues starts now. We will be announcing important dates and opportunities for involvement including details around film festivals, broadcasts and other screenings. We will also share highlights from the field through our blog. So please pass on this email if you know anyone who might be interested in the film.
