With winds light and out of south last night/early morning, I put my
microphone out from 11:30 pm to 6 am to check for nocturnal flight
calls. Pretty sparse but did get a couple Ring-billed Gulls, a Tundra
Swan, a Killdeer and 3 possible Song Sparrows. Also picked up a strange
fast twitter which I posted at

Have no idea what it might be. Maybe some local resident disturbed off
the roost.
Out of curiosity, I also recorded on the nights of Feb 15 and 21 but
(and not surprisingly) picked up no avian calls only planes, trains, and
automobiles.
