Hey all, I’m slowly resuming NFC listening after a very hectic last year. I got a microphone up last weekend, but I think it experienced some water intrusion following rain the other day, as many warbler calls were distorted and attenuated – lower frequency calls were slightly cleaner to hear and see on the scrolling spectrogram.
Last night, there was an astonishing movement of warblers, sparrows, thrushes, and grosbeaks. Very nice listening live, albeit poor quality. Predominant species was Swainson’s Thrush, followed by Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Veery, plus a smattering of Wood Thrushes, I don’t recall hearing any Gray-cheeked Thrushes yet. Heard a few Savannah Sparrows, American Redstarts, lots of Ovenbirds, and just a handful of Black-throated Blue Warblers; earlier in the night, a few flyover Green Herons. Several of the blurred zeeps sounded very short and almost Bay-breasted Warbler-like to my ears. Several possible Chestnut-sided Warblers as well, but again, those higher-frequency calls were quite muted due to some potential water damage to the microphone. Hope to get the microphone inspected and repaired in time for the next wave. Raven question: during data acquisition, can we enable custom-set live filters to filter out noise in specific frequency bands? Seems the current version only allows for application of filters on a batch of pre-existing data. Thanks and good night listening!

My home recording station has very prominent insect song, so that I get thousands of false hits, making screening time-consuming. However, I do know that we had significant thrush movement the night of September 8-9, undoubtedly mostly Swainson's. I heard them while outside both evening and morning. John -- are your results higher frequency only, or did you actually have no thrushes at all?

I had a few calls at least each day. But no thrushes or thrush-like calls! Here are my totals. 2-Sep 81 3-Sep 197 4-Sep 213 5-Sep 153 6-Sep 150 7-Sep 106 8-Sep 19 9-Sep 5 10-Sep 48 11-Sep 16 A total of 988 calls. I have not yet dared to classify all the calls but definitely there were lots of Ovenbirds, Magnolia, Bay-breasted, Savannah Sparrows, Black-throated green types, Chestnut-sideds, a few No. Parulas and a few Black-thorated blues. Very rarely American Redstart.

Below are the numbers per night, as well as the numbers per species (estimated individuals in parentheses). Veery was once again the most common bird. 9/3 87 calls 9/4 104 calls 9/5 11 calls 9/6 34 calls 9/7 1 call 9/8 0 calls 9/9 0 calls Green Heron 16 (5) American Redstart 21 (8) Black-and-white Warbler 2 (2) Black-throated Blue warbler 3 (1) Northern Parula 3 (1) Northern Waterthrush 3 (2) Ovenbird 17 (6) Warbler Sp. 61 Veery 89 (30) Thrush Sp. 1 Bobolink 11 (8) Bird Sp. 8 Passerine Sp. 1 I have uploaded several of my clearer unknown warbler calls to ebird, if anyone cares to identify them. I believe that one is a Bay-breasted, one is a Parula, and I'm not sure on the other two, though the ascending call could be Yellow-rumped. http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S31521300 http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S31521276 http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S31521225 Jerald Delaware -- Jerald -- 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/>! -- -- 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/>! -- -- 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/>! -- -- 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.
