[nfc-l] Possible Upland Sandpiper
Night of 10/5/16 -- Yard, Westport CT I was looking back at some calls I couldn't identify from the past month, and discovered what I believe could be an upland sandpiper. I lengthened the call a bit to make it easier to listen to.

[nfc-l] Interesting Calls
10/30-31/16, 8:00 PM-6:30 AM -- Yard, Westport CT Attached are mysterious calls I was unable to identify from last night's recording. If anyone could help me with them, I would be very appreciative. Perhaps most interesting is the "thrush" call at 22.44.00.

[nfc-l] Strange Calls Night Of 10/9-10/16
10/9-10/16, 7:50 PM - 6:25 AM -- Yard, Westport CT An overall decent nocturnal flight this night. However, I recorded the following calls which I cannot identify. The recording 1.16.26 appears to be two calls directly next to each other - one at a middle-range kHz and the other very high. 3.52.46 appears to be a Lincoln's/swamp, but looks rather different on a spectrogram. 20.33.58 is around 6 kHz and is a straight, single-banded line, almost sparrow-like. 3.38.00 contains two 8 kHz "ticks" that are very clean and sharp. 3.03.20 is similar. 4.37.12 is a long call that has a very faint second ban. It sounds superficially sparrow-like. 5.00.06 is the most interesting of these calls. This call sounds similar to a goldfinch, and is double-banded. These bands are widely separated by a space around 2 kHz wide. At the beginning, the lower band starts at 4.5 kHz, and the upper at 10 kHz. Very strange.

[nfc-l] Probable BICKNELL'S
10/4-5/16, 8:00 PM-6:30 AM -- Yard, Westport CT While looking over recordings from this night, I came across two calls that appeared to me significantly higher and purer-toned than standard gray-cheeked calls. Both peak at around 5 kHz. The call at 2.55.46 is the highest of the two, and thus more likely Bicknell's. Am I correct in calling them BITH? Thank you for any assistance.

[nfc-l] Interesting Savannah Sparrow Call
9/24-25/16, 8:00 PM-6:30 AM -- Yard, Westport CT While looking through the results of last night's extremely productive recording, I stumbled upon a very interesting savannah sparrow call which is superficially similar to an Ipswich call, mainly because it is highly modulated. As Ipswich savannah sparrows are very rare in Connecticut, I was wondering if anyone could confirm or refute this tentative ID. Attached is a screenshot of the spectrogram, and (a very brief) clip of the call.

Re: [nfc-l] Interesting Calls
Thank you for the input. Alas, I have yet to find a way to extend the recordings, which has annoyed me very much as well.

This really helps a lot when trying to actually listen to the recordings, as it can end up sounding like just a wall of sound otherwise, with the target voc impossible to pick out of the noise without some introduction first. Boosting the gain (normalizing) the clip would also be helpful in many cases. Both of these are also very important for prepping recordings for upload to eBird, if that is something anyone on here is interested in doing.
