[nfc-l] Gas Flare Kills 7,500 Night Migrants: 13-14 September 2013

2013-09-18 Thread Christopher T. Tessaglia-Hymes 
Another reason to better our understanding of the vocal activity of night 
migrants.

About 7,500 birds were killed in a single night at a LNG processing plant in 
Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada on the migration night of 13-14 September 
2013.

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/7-500-songbirds-killed-at-canaport-gas-plant-in-saint-john-1.1857615

If the conditions are right, the potential for this to happen now is greater 
than ever before with the increased processing of natural gas.

I cannot even begin to imagine the total losses of trans-Gulf migrants to gas 
flares in and along the Gulf of Mexico over the past few decades.

Keep on listening…

Sincerely,
Chris T-H

[nfc-l] Ipswich Sparrow?

2013-09-18 Thread John Kearney 
Is anyone familiar with Ipswich Sparrow night flight calls and might the
attached be one? 

Thanks

John

PS. The wav file is unfiltered and will sound clearer in a sound editing
program like Raven.

[nfc-l] Unknown call over suburban Pittsburgh, Sept. 17

2013-09-18 Thread Geoff Malosh 
Hello,

 

I heard and recorded the attached audio in suburban Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
about an hour before dawn on Sept. 17. An 11-second clip is attached in
which the unidentified call can be heard at about 2 sec and 9 sec. I recall
hearing it six times, five of which were picked up on recordings. The
attached spectrogram shows the first of the two calls in the wav file.

 

I'm having some trouble placing an ID on this one... I have a few ideas
(shorebirds) but any input would be appreciated.

 

Best regards,

Geoff Malosh

Pittsburgh, PA

Geoff,

Gut feel is Rose-breated Grosbeak. What do you think?

Sincerely,
