Hi all,
Yesterday night, around 10.00 PM, I was sitting in my yard and listening to=
nightflight calls of Gray-Cheeked Thrushes and anything I could hear other=
than busy highway noise of NYS 79, in Ithaca New York.
There were several Grey Tree Frogs calling loudly from my and my neighbor's=
yard and somewhere in the vicinity were also American Toads singing (no
ponds anywhere close by). While listening to the sounds, I heard this call=
a double note "kyank kyank", that called several times. I think it was a
bird as I felt it was coming from the top of the trees. but don't know what=
it is. So I went in and got my recorder out to record it. But I just
managed to record it call one more time. It did call a little later amidst=
heavy traffic but I did not record it.
The call is at the end of this piece of this link. Does anyone know what it=
could be?
