All,
Had a good flight at my stations across NY last night, in fact most of this
past week or so has been great.
Near record low temps last night shut down the insect noise, and with light
winds the calls were crisp and clear.
No thrush or RBGR totals to report but their calls were thick.
Warbler and sparrow call totals are at: http://oldbird.org/Data/Daily.htm
Proportions of different warbler and sparrow species/complexes in the mix:
Western NY: http://oldbird.org/Data/2014/ratio/JAS/JASratioAMRE.html
Eastern NY: http://oldbird.org/Data/2014/ratio/CLC/CLCratioAMRE.html
While there has been a trickle of White-throated Sparrow flight calls detected
at my station near Albany NY the past week or so, last night were the first
I’ve noted in central and western NY, with a good pulse at the Derby Hill Bird
Observatory.

Chris and Ken - thanks for the heads up. In upstate NY do you get more thrush
calls in the 1-2 hrs before day break? We seem to down in the Mid-Atlantic
(and fewer warblers).
Here's my ebird report from listening this morning (29 minutes starting at
5:38). Is this the type of distribution you heard?
Anyone else have data from last night/this morning?
