Every year at this time (end of May), this crazy bird starts flying circles around my building, making its distinctive calls. I made this recording in Cambridge, Mass., USA on May 30, 2013 with a Zoom H2. I went up on the roof and held the recorder with the mic pointed upwards. In addition to the bird calls, you can hear the occasional zooming sound as the bird zips by overhead. If any bird-call experts out there know what kind of bird this is, please comment.

According to a representative of the local Audubon Society, it's a Common Nighthawk.
