Hi all,

Today I first heard a Gray Catbird in Rosemont, and he (I imagine, calling for a mate) is still going strong at 11.15pm. I have never had the pleasure of hearing such a beautiful stream of song in the pitch dark before. I can't go to bed for listening to this melody a good two hours after the last Song Sparrow quietened down. Anyone else have nocturnal tunes from anything non-strigidae?
