Toward the end of a fairly good stream of migrants overnight, early this
morning at 4:04AM, a single Dickcissel was audible calling once while passing
over my listening station in Etna, NY.
Attached is an edited sound file of the call. I had to filter out the cricket
band and amplify the call
During the morning descent of thrushes calling, I was pleasantly surprised to
record another nice example of a BICKNELL'S THRUSH flight call. This bird
called at 6:29AM.
This bird's call peaks out at about 5.23kHz, well above any Gray-cheeked Thrush
NFC that I've seen. Most of the Gray-cheeked
This morning at 5 when I stepped out of our house in Gardiner, Maine
(south-central Maine about 30 miles from coast) in the dark, the sky was filled

The following call has me temporarily stumped. It was definitely a transiting
bird in the sky, as it called again a few moments later, but clearly farther

qualities.
Thoughts?
Thanks!
