Watched the moon for about 10 minutes around 10 pm and had 12 birds pass by. 3 Swainson's Thrush and 1 Hermit Thrush heard (night flight calls) along with several 'zeets'.
"PEEP!"
I too, just had a Swainson's fly-over, along with one or two unidentified brips and zeets. Only my second this "Fall".
I love that observation of Pete Dunne: "If you hear a Spring Peeper over in Cassiopeia, it's probably not a Spring Peeper."
