Hello all:
Just wanted to send off my results of a Moonwatching day on 4 September
2009. There were two of us completing Moonwatches independently while
recording NFCs that night.
Conditions were: Sky: Clear, Wind: 1-3mph from NE, Location: Cornell Track
Field, Ithaca, NY
We used Zeiss Monarch 10X42 binoculars (could certainly have used a 30X
scope, but we used what we had).
Time: 12:44-12:54am Observer #1: 2 silhouettes
Time: 12:54-1:00am Observer #2: 1 silhouette
Time: 1:01-1:26am Observer #1: 4 silhouettes, Observer #2: 2 silhouettes
Time: 1:28-1:44am Observer #1: 1 silhouette, Observer #2: 2 silhouettes
I'm learning new software and will be able to get back to you on what we
were able to record. So far I had 91 identified sparrow and warbler calls
and 15 thrush calls in exactly 1 hour (12:44am - 1:44am)
Enjoy the night sky!
