Last night, as with most nights, I recording using the Oldbird.org<http://Oldbird.org> flowerpot-style microphone (with Knowles EK3029c element) and BRP's Raven software. This morning, I spent a little over an hour browsing through those data. Despite the light SE winds, there was a fairly regular flow of migrants calling overhead.
A total of 361 calls were logged while browsing. These include some repeats...so, this is not a count of individuals, this is a count of all calls. Within that tally of calls, here's a rough break-down of migrants: 55 Upsweeps (Ovenbird, Black-throated Blue Warbler, Mourning Warbler, etc.) 233 Zeeps (other warblers, including high presence of Chestnut-sided Warbler-like calls, and a single nice Canada Warbler call) 45 Thrush-like calls (mostly distant and almost entirely in the final 15 minutes of the night flight, including one good Hermit Thrush candidate) 1 Rose-breasted Grosbeak (plus a single possible Rose-breasted Grosbeak) 13 Sparrows (including 12 Savannah Sparrow calls) 1 definitive Black-billed Cuckoo (plus two possible distant Black-billed Cuckoos - one distant typical-sounding NFC and one partial song note series) 1 Least Sandpiper 1 Solitary Sandpiper I'm still behind in browsing through several recent nights of data, which I hope to get through in the coming days. Good night listening! Sincerely, Chris T-H -- Christopher T.
