Hi all,
2 years ago, on 25 May (about 12:45 AM), I heard (with my "naked ear" no
recorder) an Alder Flycatcher giving its full song Fee-BEE-o several times as
it migrated over my house in Ithaca, NY. I've heard other flycatchers giving
full songs overhead in spring, but have not heard them givi
Wow, that is very cool! It's interesting to hear the call become louder as
it comes overhead, then fade off into the distance again. I had something
similar last night with a Virginia Rail, doing the "kiddick" call. That was
pretty neat as well.

Hi Nathan and fellow NFCers,
For fun, here's that single one minute song sequence of a passing Alder
Flycatcher over Etna, NY on the night of 21-22 May from about 01:58-01:59. The
clip has been converted to MP3 and is only 8bits, but you still get that
doppler shift effect as the bird passes ov
That is quite a few ALFLs. I found this one by hand browsing too. Your clip
definitely sounds much more like their typical call, easy to distinguish.

You bet, Nathan!
I've been kind of surprised by this, too.
This year, I recorded Alder Flycatcher songs/calls at the following times:
15 May - 23:30
16 May - 00:33
18 May - 23:10
19 May - 04:13
20 May - 01:44
21 May - 01:38
22 May - 01:58-01:59 (sequence, neat doppler)
22 May - 03:04
23 May - 00
Chris,
Thanks for your help and quick response. My first impression was also Alder
Flycatcher, just didn't realize they were heard that often during nocturnal
migration.
Thanks again,
Nathan

Hi Nathan,
Sounds very close to Alder Flycatcher to me. I've recorded a handful of Alder
Flycatchers in the past few nights, usually repeating their call constantly as
they fly over, or repeat their "pip" calls leading up to the "re-eeer" call.
Sincerely,
Chris T-H

I am new to this list (and quite new to nocturnal flight call recording),
but am interested to get input on this NFC I recorded this morning, 24 May,
at 3:25 AM. It sounds too exaggerated to me for Gray-cheeked Thrush, and
reminds me of Alder Flycatcher. Would really appreciate hearing other
opinio
