Re: [nfc-l] reflections on a monumental nocturnal migration

ight of the 10th and heard many more flight calls than I've ever heard from my house, so the flight should be interesting to quantify (and interesting to compare to the Cape May mics).

Re: [nfc-l] Randon stuff from Colorado

Hi Ted and all, I've been recording for nearly 7 months in a saltmarsh in NY--lots of samples of waterfowl wingbeats and I've noticed definite differences in pitch and wingbeat frequency (as would be expected based on differences in size and wing shape). Sounds like it would be a neat thing to

Re: [nfc-l] Night Migrating Raptors

Awesome pictures, Chris. Michael, I recorded a calling Osprey on 4/16/11 at about midnight. However, I'm not completely convinced it's of an overflying migrant because it sounds relatively close to the microphone and there are nesting Ospreys close by. Still, it's the only Osprey vocalization I've

I too was out last night until about 2 am in Ithaca. Very similar species composition to Chris, plus a Gray-cheeked Thrush, Wood Thrush, Scarlet Tanager and a couple other things (and minus Mourning Warbler). Braved the 45-degree temps in a sweatshirt, but totally worth it! Benjamin Van Doren

Hi Geoff and Ken, I'll echo Ken's thanks for posting. Unknown1 is interesting -- the Baltimore Oriole recordings I've heard (from the Flight Call Guide) are all rising, somewhat explosively. Your recording, on the other hand, is meekly descending. I wonder if Rose-breasted Grosbeak might be a

Hi Jerald, Congrats on getting a mic set up! To me these all look consistent with White-throated Sparrow (although WTSP 2121 5-9-16) might have to be left as sparrow sp.). The one you labeled Song Sparrow looks to me more like a poorly-recorded White-throated Sparrow - note the two large
