There have been very heavy nocturnal movements over Northern Nova Scotia the last few nights.
Night of September 7-8: 1,561 night flight calls recorded on the 21c of which about 1,300 occurred between 8 pm and midnight. Night of September 8-9: 369 night flight calls Night of September 9-10: 150 night flight calls There was a good combination of thrushes, warblers, and sparrows. I’m still working on the analysis. These numbers may still come down a bit as I do some additional weeding out of noise.

Tessaglia-Hymes; NFC-L Subject: Re: [nfc-l] Northeast US: Night Migration Tonight I just crunched last night’s flight calls from my station in the Town Danby NY - a few miles south of Ithaca. 487 warbler and sparrow flight calls from 9PM-5AM (21c/tseep-x). This is the high nightly total since this station began in mid-August. Getting late for Mourning Warbler but I did have three probables as well as a few late Canadas. Three out of every hundred calls were from Wilson’s Warbler, which is about as good as it gets for this species in central NY. Calls available for download at: http://www.oldbird.org/Data/Daily.htm Also of note last night was another solid flight down the Hudson and Connecticut River valleys, including the first ripple of White-throated Sparrows (down both valleys after midnight).
