Chris and Ken - thanks for the heads up. In upstate NY do you get more
thrush calls in the 1-2 hrs before day break?We seem to down in the
Mid-Atlantic (and fewer warblers).
Here's my ebird report from listening this morning (29 minutes starting at
5:38). Is this the type of distribution you
Andrew, et. al.,
I haven’t gone through all of my recording data from last night, but I have
certainly observed what you are mentioning: significant thrush vocalizations in
the minutes immediately leading up to the start of civil twilight. Often, after
midnight, there are very few warbler
All,
Had a good flight at my stations across NY last night, in fact most of this
past week or so has been great.
Near record low temps last night shut down the insect noise, and with light
winds the calls were crisp and clear.
No thrush or RBGR totals to report but their calls were thick.
Chris,
I went out and listened for 15 minutes around 10.15 am. I did not hear anything
. maybe I was listening at the lull period or birds might not have been flying
over my house at that time.

Were the lights on at the Stadium…maybe they all got sucked in there…? Sorry
you did not have much success, Meena. It was active in Etna all night long,
with tiny lulls here and there.
Sincerely,

Apparently there was a very large flight involving thousands of mostly thrush
calls over western PA last night and around dawn. I think it was much lighter
over eastern PA, as seems often to be the case. At Hawk Mt. in SE PA, a NE wind
of 5-8 mph was enough to rustle leaves and mask calls (only
Gary Kohlenberg found a PHALAROPE off East Shore Park at the south end of
Cayuga Lake a few minutes ago that appears to be a juvenile RED.
