Hi all, Those of us in the east, although it seems a bit to early yet, its not to early to be listening for nocturnal flight calls. For the last 2-3 weeks I have had many decent nights of overflight. I have not listened for long, but on several nights I had many birds per minute. Some of the species included Yellow Warbler, Louisiana Waterthrush, Chestnut-sided Warbler, Hooded Warbler, American Redstart, Chipping Sparrows, Grasshopper Sparrow, Henslows Sparrow, Savannah Sparrow, Indigo Bunting, and Veery. Most numerous calls were from Yellow Warblers followed by Canada Warbler and then Chipping Sparrow.
Good listening, Mike Michael Lanzone [email protected] -- NFC-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NFC_WELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NFC_RULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NFC-L_SubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NFC-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NFCL.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
