Birders Sleepless tonight with a pinched nerve I decided to give a listen for .5 hr at 1 AM this morning. Dense marine layer and calm winds. One Barn Owl was the only bird heard. This species does not nest locally (within 15 miles though) and could be migrating on this date, or just a wandering juvenile. I typically hear only SWTH in the pre-dawn, and not much else until later in fall when sparrows are more obvious. An occasional oddball thing like a flock of Elegant Terns adds spice, but overall it's pretty quiet outside of the SWTH. In any case, I'll try to get out and listen a bit more here. Negative data are good data right???
