The simultaneous two-toned nature of the vocalization is consistent with production from a syrinx (i.e. not from a bat or flying squirrel). The less than 100 ms duration of the call, the 6-10 kHz frequency range, and the characteristics we collected of its nightly and hourly periodicity are congruent with calls given by many small passerines that migrate at night across North America. Yet the call is distinct from night flight calls of neotropical migrant species that regularly traverse eastern USA in spring and fall migration. We have considered the known species that migrate through Veracruz and there are a number of candidates for the caller, but the identity has eluded us. We submit here the mystery and evidence we have gathered for review by others who may have special insight or who may carry on the investigation. Identifying the call would enable the possibility for automatically documenting nocturnal migration activity of the species across its range with specialized audio processors.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="es"><p><![CDATA[Resumen En la migración de otoño de 2012, en una estación de monitoreo de llamados nocturnos de aves en vuelo cerca de Minatitlán, Veracruz, México, registramos un tipo de llamado, no documentado previamente. La naturaleza de dos tonos simultáneos de dicha vocalización coincide con el que produce la siringe (i.e. no es producido por un murciélago o ardilla voladora). Su duración de menos de 100 m.s., de entre 6 y 10 kHz en rango de frecuencia, además de sus características de periodicidad diaria y por horarios, son congruentes con muchas paserinas pequeñas que migran durante la noche y atraviesan Norte América. Sin embargo, este llamado es único y distintivo de llamados nocturnos de aquellas especies en vuelo que regularmente atraviesan la parte este de EUA, durante la migración de primavera y de otoño. Hemos considerado a las especies conocidas que migran a través de Veracruz y hay algunas que podrían tener esta vocalización, sin embargo, no están totalmente identificadas. Describimos las evidencias colectadas para aquellos que tengan un especial interés en revisarlas y deseen continuar con la investigación. Poder identificar el llamado nocturno en vuelo de una especie facilitará la documentación automática de su actividad migratoria, en su rango de distribución, a lo largo del tiempo con procesadores de audio especializados.]]></p></abstract>
