Media notes

NFC | 300. This cut is from toward the end of the period observation, when the birds were coming in low. I saw a few land in a tree, but then they kept going; I'm guessing they were disoriented by the artificial lighting. The cut starts with a single American Tree Sparrow, then goes over to, I believe, all White-crowned Sparrows. Sorry about the buzz at 8 kHz; I was standing under a light fixture that was making that noise.
