Last night was the first night since 10 July, where there has been a notable passage of birds overhead at Etna, NY. While there were some birds over the past few nights, last night was definitely more active with a greater number and variety of NFCs.
18 Warblers (zeep, upsweep, downsweep) 1 Common Yellowthroat 2 Savannah Sparrows 1 Chipping Sparrow 1 Veery 3 Thrush sp 1 Black-billed Cuckoo 14 Virginia Rail Calls from either a single local bird flying around or upwards of four individuals based upon time-span (all are either keer or keck-keer type calls). Other birds over the past several nights have included: Sora Spotted Sandpiper Yellow-billed Cuckoos Black-billed Cuckoos Wood Thrushes Indigo Bunting I did not record for two weeks from the night of 26 June through the night of 9 July.

At altitudes of about 3000 to 5000 feet AGL the echoes were moving from north to south, below that; the echoes are moving more west to east suggesting maybe some of these are insects?? Or maybe some are birds migrating or wandering toward the coast??? Not sure. There is a large high over the region with very light winds so I think what we are seeing in the velocity images are biological. Dual polar hydrometeor classification product suggests all echoes are biological this evening. This link has all the dual polar radar products along with the legacy reflectivity and velocity products. http://weather.cod.edu/satrad/nexrad/ Cheers, Dave Nicosia -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: Welcome and Basics<http://www.northeastbirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME> Rules and Information<http://www.northeastbirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES> Subscribe, Configuration and Leave<http://www.northeastbirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm> Archives: The Mail Archive<http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html> Surfbirds<http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds> BirdingOnThe.Net<http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html> Please submit your observations to eBird<http://ebird.org/content/ebird/>! -- -- NFC-L List Info: Welcome and Basics<http://www.northeastbirding.com/NFC_WELCOME> Rules and Information<http://www.northeastbirding.com/NFC_RULES> Subscribe, Configuration and Leave<http://www.northeastbirding.com/NFC-L_SubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm> Archives: The Mail Archive<http://www.mail-archive.com/nfc-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html> Surfbirds<http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NFC-L> BirdingOnThe.Net<http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NFCL.html> Please submit your observations to eBird<http://ebird.org/content/ebird/>! -- -- Christopher T.
