Haven't gone through really carefully but includes Hermit Thrushes, Swainson's Thrushes, Savannah Sparrows, Yellow-rumped Warblers, White-throated Sparrows, a Common Yellowthroat, perhaps a couple of Swamp/Lincoln's Sparrows and I'm sure some other things too. http://soundcloud.com/birdwells/sounds-from-thursday-morning-1 Jeff Wells -- NFC-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NFC_WELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NFC_RULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NFC-L_SubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nfc-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NFC-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NFCL.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
