Hi Birders,

I heard a BLACK-THROATED GRAY WARBLER singing its distinctive buzzy song 
this morning while walking the dog.  Last night, while enjoying the 
stars, I heard a distant NORTHERN SAW-WHET OWL and some interesting 
flight calls I think were ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLERS.  There was one 
singleton and then it sounded like a group of three or so passing fairly 
low overhead.  The calls sounded rather like one part of a Dark-eyed 
Junco twitter call.  I guess they could have been this species as well, 
but I'm more used to hearing the whole twitter, not just snippets of 
it.  Does anyone know of a good resource for western night migration calls?

Good Birding and thanks in advance for any info!

Karl
