[nfc-l] Species comp variation

2016-09-06 Thread Jeff Wells
This is another graph from Mike's honors thesis showing difference in thrush 
calls detected at three close recording stations on an October night here in 
Maine.

Re: [nfc-l] more on nightly flight call timing variation

Hi Jeff Wells, Jeff Bouler and John Kearny,

Thank you for sharing your data and publications!

Of course we are scratching the surface while recording. John for example you 
lumped all warblers into one group. But according to small data points I have 
(just started last year in early September and this year in late August) the 
species composition of warblers vary a lot at night.  Then it depends on 
geographical locations. Lewes is very different form Ithaca, New York. Plus so 
many other factors are involved. I have been recording only 1/10 of what Bill 
Evans has been recording at Danby station at 1500 ft 
http://www.oldbird.org/Data/2016/Danby/Danby.htm .  Not exactly, now that I 
looked at the recent data, 1/10 that was on August 30. Today I recorded 150 
calls while Danby station recorded only 473 calls.  So, so much variation is 
there with in a few (5) miles. But it is worth pursuing. I wish we could have a 
transact of several close recorders and  see how they do. We should recruit 
other birders to start recording!


Now that I am excited about it, unfortunately I will be out of town most 
migration peak period [☹]


Cheers

Meena

Hello all,

One of my students, Kyle Horton, collected acoustic data of migrants in Lewes, 
Delaware and compared it to radar and thermal imaging data of traffic rates. We 
found moderate correlations across nights during the later part of the night 
when calling rates peaked at our site. See the attached article for more 
details.

Another undergraduate at the time from Bates College named Mike Watson did
some work for his honors thesis using data from three of my recording units
run simultaneously here in Maine all within a few miles of each other.

Attached is one figure showing the nightly variation over three October
nights.

Re: [nfc-l] Intersting pattern in data recording

2016-09-06 Thread Jim Danzenbaker
Hi John,

That's great information.

I don't hear many nocturnal non-thrush calls compared to you listeners in
the East but the ones I do hear are usually in the first several hours
after dusk up to about 2 am ish.

Meena brought up an interesting point regarding the possibility that call
spikes at different locations could be based on from where and how long the
birds have been flying.  I hadn't considered that.  Of course, altitude of
the listening location would be a key feature to bring into the analysis as
somebody else had stated.

2016-09-06 Thread John Kearney
Hi All,

I believe some of the variability can be accounted for by the species or
family composition of the flight calls you are recording. Below is a graph
of the distribution of flight calls by family for last autumn at an inland,
forested site in Nova Scotia. 

Interesting thread!

John

Hi Jeff and all, 

Thanks for your feed back.  It is getting more interesting!  I just looked
at the data of Sep 21 2015 when I recorded over thousand calls.  As Jeff
mentioned it peaked around 2 am. 

As for Swainsons Thrushes, I have been recording very few calls or no calls
at all, when some other people in my locality have been reporting lots of
them. Just as crow flies a mile down stream from me from Schoellkopf's
stadium someone recorded several of them the other night.  So it seems it is
very interesting. 

 

I will look at my data from last year's sometimes soon. 

 

So what makes them to peak at different times on different days?  Does it
denote from where and how long they have been making their journey? 

 

BTW, Jeff I still have your bug book. If send me your mailing address I will
mail it to you.

I have been recording in Ithaca NY for last few days. I am finding an
interesting pattern in number of calls recorded per hour (between 9.00 pm to
5.30 am). My recordings of the calls peak around 3.00 am in the morning. So
I am not sure why that pattern. Whether that is the time when they are ready
to touch down so they fly low in search of good locations or something else
is happening? I am curious to know how others are finding. If any Ithaca
recorders are out there have you looked at the pattern? Bill Evans who has

Sorry all, it appears I was mistake in my earlier statement. I made an
excel chart of calls for three nights this week which I have attached
below. As you can see, the peak seems to be around 22:00 on all three
nights. However, I only listen live until 23:00, and use automatic
detectors for the rest of the night, so the data after 11 is most likely
skewed. The winds were from the north on all three nights.

RE: [nfc-l] more on nightly flight call timing variation

2016-09-06 Thread Caitlin Coberly
Be lovely to see that correlated with weather patterns, or across geographic
scales.  Be fun, of course, to correlate with the radar imagery as well.

Another undergraduate at the time from Bates College named Mike Watson did
some work for his honors thesis using data from three of my recording units
run simultaneously here in Maine all within a few miles of each other.

Attached is one figure showing the nightly variation over three October
nights.

Re: [nfc-l] Intersting pattern in data recording

2016-09-06 Thread Meena Madhav Haribal
Hi Jeff and all,

Thanks for your feed back.  It is getting more interesting!  I just looked at 
the data of Sep 21 2015 when I recorded over thousand calls.  As Jeff mentioned 
it peaked around 2 am.

As for Swainsons Thrushes, I have been recording very few calls or no calls at 
all, when some other people in my locality have been reporting lots of them. 
Just as crow flies a mile down stream from me from Schoellkopf's  stadium 
someone recorded several of them the other night.  So it seems it is very 
interesting.


I will look at my data from last year's sometimes soon.


So what makes them to peak at different times on different days?  Does it 
denote from where and how long they have been making their journey?


BTW, Jeff I still have your bug book. If send me your mailing address I will 
mail it to you.


Cheers

Meena

A few years ago, a then undergraduate at Colby College here in Maine named Andy 
McEvoy used two of my nocturnal flight call datasets in his Senior Honors 
Thesis. The locations were from Deline, Northwest Territories from Fall 2006 
and from Lesser Slave Lake Bird Observatory, Alberta from Fall 2007.



Attached is an image from Andy’s thesis  showing graphs of how many times in 
each season a particular hour after sunset recorded the peak number of calls. 
It was not the same every night.

All,



Out here in southwestern Washington State, I have a steady flow of very vocal 
Swainson's Thrushes flying over every night.  Like others on this list serve, 
I've noted that the number of calls increasing dramatically about an hour or so 
before dawn.  I've often wondered if they are calling this commonly all night 
and are just more easily heard as they descend or whether they call more 
frequently near dawn.

Hi all,

I have been recording in Ithaca NY for last few days. I am finding an 
interesting pattern in number of calls recorded per hour (between 9.00 pm to 
5.30 am). My recordings of the calls peak around 3.00 am in the morning. So I 
am not sure why that pattern. Whether that is the time when they are ready to 
touch down so they fly low in search of good locations or something else is 
happening? I am curious to know how others are finding. If any Ithaca recorders 
are out there have you looked at the pattern? Bill Evans who has been recording 
form Danby area in Ithaca sent me a pattern for one day and that day it peaked 
around 1.00 am and it also at higher elevation of 1500 ft, while I am at at 821 
feet.



Here is the actual data.

Recording in central Michigan, my calls were peaking at about 4:00 AM-right
by the shores of Lake Huron.  My guess is that is when they are flying low
and looking to land.  I'd have to look at my old data, but I think my inland
recorders (not near woodlots) did not see the same peak.  Fall and spring

RE: [nfc-l] Interesting Call

2016-09-06 Thread John Kearney
Hi Preston and all,

I downloaded the calls you sent. The first one is a “double-up” warbler mostly 
likely one in the genus Oreothlypis (Nashville, Tennessee, and Orange-crowned). 
I would lean toward Tennessee for this one due to the nice bend in the 
spectrogram. When I first looked at the second call, I thought it was a 
Magnolia Warbler due to the spacing between humps, but on closer examination 
its high frequency, number of humps, depth between humps, and somewhat 
descending character fit better with Cape May Warbler.

Night of 9/01-02/16; Westport, Connecticut

 

I recorded an interesting call that night (the night of a small cold front), 
and was wondering if anyone could aid me in its identification. Thank you for 
any input.

[nfc-l] NFCs Week of 8/26 through 9/2

2016-09-06 Thread John Kearney
Hi Jerald and all,

Thanks for sharing your monitoring results. I look forward to your next
report. 

As for your strange call, it is indeed strange; very high frequency. I
wonder if it is a bird at all. It is almost mouse like.

John
