Hi Matt,
Congrats on your bittern.
Have not been able to pour through last night's recording in its entirety
yet. Night of 4/6-7 and 4/7-8 over my house in Gaithersburg yielded only a
smattering of sparrows (mostly Chipping but also Savannah and Song), a few
Hermit Thrush and Am. Robins. Based on loudness of recorded calls, most
birds seem to be flying rather high, so I probably missed a lot.
Did note a Swamp/Lincoln's type buzz call from last night. Maybe temporally
(and using eBird early Apr. records) could hazard a guess that its more
likely to be a Swamp but I cannot tell these two calls apart.
Good listening! :)
