Hi all, I was only able to listen for a short while last night, between 12:45 and 1 AM, but there were many calls over my house in northeast Ithaca - and the ratio seemed different from what Jay reported. In 15 minutes, I estimated 40 VEERIES, only 5 SWAINSON'S THRUSHES, and one clear GRAY-CHEEKED THRUSH, plus about 20 warbler "zeeps." I must admit that each fall I am rusty on Rose-breasted Grosbeaks in early September, so at least some of my "Veeries" may have been grosbeaks (according to Jay et al's numbers) -- but there were definitely many more Veeries than Swainson's in the time I was listening. I'm curious is others have other results to report?
Hope to get out for a while later this evening,, KEN ********************************************** Ken Rosenberg Director of Conservation Science Cornell Lab of Ornithology Ithaca NY 14850 Phone: 607-254-2412 cell: 607-342-4594 k...@cornell.edu www.birds.cornell.edu -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html 3) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
