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.

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!
