<does anyone care or is anyone collecting those thin incomplete fall 
calls that migratory birds make?

They may be HY related or just a partial weak call of the spring. 
But they are the same from year to year and don't quite make it to 
being a true whisper call.

What's HY Rich?
 
Yes to recording the late year sounds, I was taking songs from a various
selection of birds over the weekend. The mallards are already picking
their mates and they make some unusual sounds while they bob their heads
up and down in coordination. Song Sparrows are singing at a higher pitch
and dropping their beginning calls, Robins are becoming lazy too.
It's great to be able to have as many of their calls as possible. I know
I used to hear a Steller's Jay in the Autumn that made calls only this
time of year, unless the leaves have fallen off the trees, you wouldn't
know who the bloody hell was calling.
