RE: [nfc-l] Northeast US: Night Migration Tonight

2012-09-10 Thread John Kearney

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.

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).

RE: [nfc-l] Northeast US: Night Migration Tonight

2012-09-10 Thread Rob Fergus


I listened last night from 2:15am-5:45 am, most of that time out on my patio 
with an earphone from my OldBird 21c mic in one ear.  I recorded all night, and 
got over 150 thrush calls and 180 tseep-x detected calls with dozens of tseep 
calls heard.  It's going to take me a while to wade through some of these that 
are less familiar, but I did have a Gray-cheeked Thrush with the mostly Veery 
and some Swainson's Thrushes.  My thrush-x detector is apparently not picking 
these up over the bug noise, even though that was much reduced last night--so I 
did a manual sort to pull out thrush calls (that took a little while!).  
Anyway, so far I seem to have:
Black-billed Cuckoo (2)Mourning WarblerBay-breasted Warbler Black-throated Blue 
WarblerCanada WarblerMagnolia WarblerOvenbirdNorthern Parula
...and a bunch of others I'm still working on :-)

Another heads-up...

Tonight looks very good for a night migration. Should see a good push of birds 
down from southern Canada into the US. How this plays out depends upon where 
listening stations are relative to the high pressure system moving across the 
Northeast. For example, regions west of Rochester, NY may not see significant 
movement after midnight, while areas east of Rochester, NY may see continuous 
movement all night.

Last night, while listening and watching the spectrogram scrolling live from 
Etna, NY from about 9pm to 2pm, Gerard Phillips, Jay McGowan and I heard the 
following, plus some:

Common Yellowthroats
Ovenbirds
Mourning Warblers (sounds like a "Bobolink of the warblers")
Black-throated Blue Warblers
Chestnut-sided Warbler
Magnolia Warbler-types
Lots of Bay-breasted Warblers
Rose-breasted Grosbeaks
Hermit Thrush (1-2)
Veeries
Swainson's Thrushes
Bobolinks
Lots of Green Herons
Chipping Sparrow
double-banded upsweeps
downsweeps
seeps
other zeeps
and our local Coyotes

Good luck listening, tonight!

Chris T-H

I too was out last night until about 2 am in Ithaca. Very similar species 
composition to Chris, plus a Gray-cheeked Thrush, Wood Thrush, Scarlet Tanager 
and a couple other things (and minus Mourning Warbler). Braved the 45-degree 
temps in a sweatshirt, but totally worth it!

Re: [nfc-l] Northeast US: Night Migration Tonight

2012-09-10 Thread Jesse Ellis

I'm not in crack shape right now, but I spent a few stops listing here in
Madison, Wisconsin. We had a major flight last night. The bulk of the birds
were Swainson's Thrushes, followed by Hermit Thrushes, with a few
Grey-cheeks in there too. The rest of were not my expertise (that is,
nothing exceptionally distinctive other than a few Indigo Buntings - no
herons, cuckoos, rails, etc). I stopped several times over an hour period
and had probably 8-10 birds per minute each stop. This was between 1200 and
0100 this morning. I just wish I hadn't had to go to bed!
