[cayugabirds-l] Swamp sparrow singing @ night?

Louisiana Waterthrush is back singing at Six Mile Creek upstream of second reservoir this morning. I didn't walk the trails the last two days so don't know if they'd been back, though yesterday's evening walk did not hear any. Winter wren continues singing in its traditional territory. Suan
