1. Yes especially around dawn or dusk
2. The only thing in Texas that I know of that sounds similar is Barn
Swallow.

Greetings All:
I was out in my backyard clearing some broken tree limbs from my back
porch when I heard what sounded exactly, to me, like a Sprague's Pipit
- giving the short flight calls - fly over.
I went in and confirmed that the call matched up at the Cornell song
and call site.
Question 1) Do Sprague's Pipits call during nocturnal flight?
Question 2) What else could I have heard?
Some background information: we do get a fair number of Sprague's
Pipit records in the region during fall migration.
