I'm hearing maybe a dozen calls a minute going over NW NJ right now as well, and NEXRAD showing some serious bird movement going on (+24dbZ here, higher over other nearby areas including Philly). Mostly White-crowned Sparrow, Chipping Sparrow, and American Robins, but a good mix of other calls as well. Look forward to reviewing the recording later.
Rob Fergus Union Township, Hunterdon Co, NJ http://birdchaser.blogspot.com From: [email protected] Subject: [nfc-l] Nice night flight underway right now: Blackwater Falls State Park, Tucker County, WV Date: Sat, 27 Oct 2012 21:34:09 -0600 To: [email protected] Hello, Birders. I've been listening and recording this past hour (10:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m.), Saturday, Oct. 27th, at Blackwater Falls State Park, Tucker County, WV. Lots of stuff on the move in the fog and mist. Not really sure about most of it, and I forgot to bring with me the cable to connect the recorder to the laptop... :-( I'm nearly sure a few of them have been Common Yellowthroats--low (for a warbler), short-duration, and very buzzy. Nothing else really comes to mind. I think I recorded a couple of Palm Warblers, too. Not so sure about the others, honestly. Yesterday morning, Friday, Oct. 26th, I heard lots of White-throated Sparrows landing at dawn in the East End section of PIttsburgh, Allegheny County, PA. And sure enough, White-throats were all over that morning, after sunrise, at Frick Park and in the East End neighborhoods. I suspect this is the last night for a while that anybody in the ne. USA will be hearing nocturnal migrant warblers and sparrows!
