Funny you mention robins getting in the way--I thought I was the only one. Here in Columbus, OH this week the robins have been starting up between 1:30 and 2:30am. One has been singing directly over my microphone and its distorted notes make automated call detection impossible at all

Bryan, Thanks for that easy-to-read website. It is pretty simple afterall. Anyone record last night? I was all excited for spring recording minus all the insects like I hear in the fall. However, I didn't fully realize how early the American Robins start up. I'm estimating that it was about

Oh! You beat me to it! You can get the radiosonde data here: http://www.rap.ucar.edu/weather/upper/ just click on the station nearest you. Note that they are taken at 1200 and UTC (8:00am and 8:00pm EST), so if things are changing rapidly between those times, you might have some

So for the Northeast or at least Mid-Atlantic, I guess this is it (finally)...tonights the night? I plan on recording the next 3 nights. One question - is there a user friendly website showing wind speeds at the altitudes at which birds migrate? Either that or is there an explanation for the
