RE: [nfc-l] Flood gates are opened in western NJ

2012-04-16 Thread Rob Fergus 

Andrew, I recorded from 9pm-5:30am.  I'm having a bit of trouble with my 
sorting in GlassOFire so will have to redo that in order to see when most of 
the calls were, but they started pretty early and I had some each hour of the 
night.  I only had two or three Hermit Thrush calls that I could see in 
GlassOFire.  I also got a gull about 1am (?) and some other weird noise I may 
have to send on for the group to help me out with.  This is my first season so 
I feel a bit like I'm in a whole new world :-)

What hours did you record and when did you have most of your calls last night?
I recorded about 5 hours last night and listened to about 2 hours 
(10:30-12:30am) of that and had only ~20 calls.  So not nearly as many as you 
but the diversity made it worth listening to:  some higher pitched 
warbler/sparrow calls, some mid range calls and then two heron-like (Great Blue 
and something else), and then an interesting shorebird repeating call. 

It wasn't a nfc but last week I encountered interesting flight calls about 30 
minutes before dawn.  I was running when I heard a Fish Crow flying over a very 
surburban area, then another call and then I looked up.  I stopped and counted 
71 Fish Crows.  I just checked Ebird and the high county for Montgomery County 
is only 35.

[nfc-l] Flood gates are opened in western NJ

2012-04-16 Thread Rob Fergus 

Just processed my recording from last night and had about 170 Tseep calls.  
After a couple weeks of north winds and 1-4 detections a night, things are 
hopping now!
