[nfc-l] Night Flight - Battle Ground, WA

2011-10-06 Thread Jim Danzenbaker
Nocturnal flight enthusiasts,

I live in Battle Ground, Washington which is 20 miles due north of Portland,
Oregon.  I've been listening for about 6 years - mostly Swainson's Thrushes
which can number in the thousands on some nights in September.  I was
listening from 5:45-7 this morning and had a good variety although not many
individuals:

Varied Thrush 21*
Hermit Thrush 1
Swainson's Thrush 3
*Zonotrichia* 1
Song Sparrow 1
Yellow-rumped Warbler 1
misc chips 8

* this is only the third time I've heard nocturnal migrant Varied Thrushes
and only single birds on the other two occasions.

Conditions were overcast with calm winds which was a big change from the
south winds and rainy conditions of the last several nights.

Jim

Re: [nfc-l] American Bittern NFC

2011-10-06 Thread Magnus Robb
Hi all,

I've recorded Great Bittern night flight calls from time to time in the 
Netherlands, Portugal and elsewhere and they were always single notes. One of 
the most striking thing about them is the very long gap between calls, 
typically 30 seconds to a minute during night flights. When recording them I 
wait at least 90 seconds after the last call before hitting the stop button! 
The times I've heard more frequent calls have been when birds were leaving 
marshes at the start of a migration leg, when presumably the chances of 
attracting a conspecific to come with them were greatest. In one beautiful 
recording by Arnoud van den Berg made at Lauwersmeer in the Netherlands, you 
can heard fairly short gaps and double notes, but they are clearly from two 
different birds answering each other. He saw them both as they took off, flew 
overhead about 20m apart, then disappeared.

all the best,

Magnus

Hi all,
Well, at least Minnesota and Alabama are both in the US . . . my
apologies for the incorrect location reference! The discussion of
bittern flight calls has piqued my curiosity about Great Bittern -
Magnus and others, what generalization, if any, have you about single
versus double call notes in nocturnal migration from that species?

Re: [nfc-l] American Bittern NFC

2011-10-06 Thread Bill Evans
The original recording was from south-central Alabama in the early morning 
(~4AM) of October 8, 1989. Andy cut out the dead space between calls. The 
actual sequence is over a minute long and one can interpret the bird 
approaching and then flying away. This is the only time I've heard a double 
croak from American Bittern -- all other occasions have been single croak 
events. I think on most of my night flight call recordings there is usually 
only a single call detected from a passing individual. Uncommon but regular 
flight call here in central NY.

Hi all,
I've certainly heard American Bittern produce isolated notes more
often than not when I've heard them migrating at night, both in the
field and in the lab from recordings; I'd hazard a guess to say that
the single note call is more likely to be encountered . . . but this
is really pure speculation, when it comes down to it, because I've not
heard a tremendous number of bitterns in flight at night!

Is it most typical for American Bitterns to produce these paired calls 
during migration, or do they often just do single isolated notes?


This is very helpful!

I concur that the single call note is typical in nocturnal migration. I have 
probably heard hundreds of single call notes from nocturnal migrants in Cape 
May, but the only time I recall hearing multiple-note vocalizations as in 
Bill's cut is when a bird was flushed from a marsh.

RE: [nfc-l] American Bittern NFC

2011-10-06 Thread Chris Tessaglia-Hymes
Andrew,

Thanks for pulling this together, and thanks Bill, for providing these clips!

Is it most typical for American Bitterns to produce these paired calls during 
migration, or do they often just do single isolated notes?

This is very helpful!

Thanks again!

Sincerely,
Chris T-H

Hi all,
With Bill Evans's permission, I attach a heavily edited cut of American Bittern 
flight calls that Bill recorded and sent to me - I believe these recordings 
come from Minnesota, though I cannot say for sure without some further 
investigation.  This is certainly the best recording I have, I am not sure and 
have not yet checked if others exist in Macaulay or Xeno-Canto.

Best,
Andrew

Does anyone have an example of an American Bittern NFC they could attach and
post to the List?

 

Thanks!
