Hello, all.
With a general northerly windflow continuing, there was again a decent
push of nocturnal migrants over Lafayette, Boulder County, Colorado,
earlier today, Thursday, Aug. 20th. (30 miles northwest of Denver.) It
was clear overnight, with just some thin, high haze. Birds sounded
higher
Hello all,
Yesterday night, when I finished my shift at the plant at about 11PM, I
was walking to the parking lot and I could hear many flight calls. Since
I don"t know them I just thought I would count them to see how many
birds were passing by. There were so many calls that I could not keep
No, you weren't dreaming! Call counts like that are uncommon most places,
but on good nights along the coast I have heard nights like you described
during fall migration many times. Last night looked particularly good (on
radar) where you were and combine that with a low ceiling and/or coastal
Thank you for answers Michael and Andrew.
The plant I'm working at is called Canaport (you can see it on google
map). It's a tank farm where they receive liquified natural gas and
store it before pushing it into the pipeline. I'll try to be out there
again tonight. I'll also try to drive around
As I headed off to bed lastnight (12midnight), I could hear many "tsips" per
minute over head (Northeastern region of Adirondack Mts in NY). So a quick
check to the radar:http://radar.weather.gov/Conus/index_loop.php
and saw what looked like a heavy movement of birds over the East coast and
FYI - I think there was a 1950 paper too, though I cannot remember. . .When
everyone is ready, it is high time that we replicate Lowery and Newman
(1966). With today's technology for synthesizing information, we could do
it in a much more timely and large scale manner, AND we could combine it
Lets do it!!

Last spring I used the software tools from oldbird.org (tseep-x, thrush-x and
GlassOfFire) to examine sound files. Unfortunately, it was a bit tedious as I
was recording in an unsupported bit-rate. So I made batch and shell scripts to
move, convert, and examine the files ~relatively~
Hi all,
I was in western New Mexico for a brief but eventful visit from 17-19
August 2009. The birding highlight was almost certainly (large Pinyon
Jay flocks is a close top highlight too) the nice nocturnal flights on
the evening of 18 August continuing into the morning of 19 August near
