Observing focus in sky: altitude 60, azimuth 45

Note:  I have five below listed as "Unk".  They may or may not have
been Leonids; I was not able to determine this due to them being in
peripheral vision and gone before I could tell their direction of
motion.

Not included above (Nov 18/19):
For the following time period, I ended up in a debate with
myself as to whether it was 5 minutes or 15.  What I wrote on
site was five minutes, so maybe that was the actual duration.

06:45-? (Teff 5 or 15) - LEO 0, AMO 1, TAU 1; mags: AMO +2, TAU +1

I was out in farm country and heard lots of fun animal sounds
both nights, including on Sunday morning some very loud
unexpected noises from a flock of some unknown large birds
(possibly swans?).
