Re: [nfc-l] Night Flight - Etna, NY: 5/27-5/28

I'm not certain about the ceiling here. At least part of the time that 
we were out it looked like there was a thin, low ceiling, but that was 
clearing and the birds kept coming.

RE: [nfc-l] Night Flight - Etna, NY: 5/27-5/28

2014-05-28 Thread Meena Madhav Haribal 
I too think the cloud ceiling played an important role in yesterday's migrants. 
 I could see as the cloud cover became heavier, I heard more calls that sounded 
to be coming from the closer birds. Yesterday night was one of my best NFC 
listening nights.

Laura,

I kind of noticed the same. I'm thinking this may have been a low altitude 
passage of migrants due to the lower cloud ceiling? We had several heavy 
isolated rain storms pass through overnight and we woke to dense upper 
elevation fog and moderate amounts of mist at mid-level elevations this morning.

Can't wait to go over my data with a fine-tooth comb, though...

Take care, all!

Chris T-H
