Conditions were good for recording last night so I put the mic out on 
the driveway about 10 pm.  Calls picked up after 12 midnight with 
White-throated Sparrows the most prevalent. There were a few Chipping 
and Savannah Sparrows mixed in, 5 or 6 Ovenbirds, a Great Blue Heron and 
still some Hermit Thrush coming through.

Best surprise of the night (early morning) was not a flight call but a 
singing Louisiana Waterthrush in my yard at 4:43 AM. The morning robin 
chorus started about 4:30 and the waterthrush sang 3 times before moving 
on. New yard bird for me.
