Re: FW: [nfc-l] Migration Tonight (9/23-9/24)
Last night (9/23-24) was fairly active here on the east side of Cleveland, too. I had about 550 sparrow/warbler frequency calls. The night before was even more active, with about 900 calls in the upper frequencies. I'm not checking thrushes at the moment, because it is too labor-intensive to pick them out of the traffic noise, but I did notice /very/ dense thrush calls in the early morning of the 23rd.

FW: [nfc-l] Migration Tonight (9/23-9/24)
I had over 600 calls detected with the Tseep-X and Thrush-X detectors last night, which means probably close to 1000 calls on the recording if I go through it manually. Most thrushes were Swainson's and a few Gray-cheeked. Lots of warbler calls to go through still. At least one Black-billed Cuckoo. I was listening to the recording live in progress, and heard gulls about midnight.

RE: [nfc-l] Migration Tonight (9/23-9/24)

[nfc-l] Migration Tonight
Just another heads-up to listeners/recordists in the Northeastern US about the migration overnight tonight. There has been a near constant chatter of migrants over upstate NY at my recording station in Etna, NY. Lots of Green Herons early on; several Chestnut-sided Warblers, a few American Redstarts, probably hundreds more of other warblers, plus a handful of thrushes including a single Swainson's Thrush which called once from directly overhead. I expect a very nice descent of thrushes in the morning around 5:50am (EDT). Good night-listening! Sincerely, Chris T-H -- Christopher T.

[nfc-l] Migration Tonight: Northeast US
Just a heads-up: tonight (and probably tomorrow night) there is a heavy migration of birds moving overhead. Many warblers, some sparrows, and a good movement of Green Herons (at least, here over Etna, NY). Hope folks can get out and listen! Sincerely, Chris T-H -- Christopher T.

Re: [nfc-l] Migration tonight
While migration has been pretty consistent along the east coast (10 consecutive nights of migration, the longest run I've seen in either spring or fall over the last six years), two nights ago the low pressure system that rumbled up the east coast effectively shut down migration over the mid-Atlantic coast, with southerly winds and heavy precipitation. The effect of that wind was felt into eastern PA, but diminished quickly thereafter, leaving western PA under light and variable winds. The effect on the radar was pretty cool- an apparent boundary between eastern and western PA where birds were clearly NOT migrating in the east, and were going gangbusters in the west (see Mike's last image, the one of the regional composite). Since the low pressure has "left the building" (so to speak), migration has begun again across the entire eastern flyway. Check out my post from this morning, which includes a recording snippet made by Mike last night: http://www.woodcreeper.com/2009/09/13/oops-they-did-it-again/ Thanks for sending the recording, Mike!
