The seminal publication on flight calls is the 2002 CD "Flight Calls of
Migratory Birds, Eastern North American Landbirds" by William Evans and
MD's own Michael O'Brien. It's available here:
http://www.oldbird.org/fcmbirds.htm
as well as at Buteo Books.
I believe the mobile version of the Sibley guide also has a good
compilation of various calls, but don't have personal experience with that.
Good birding!
