[nfc-l] Night Flight - Etna, NY: 5/29-5/30
Thursday night was a night with the second highest concentration of night migrating cuckoos this season. There were 14 calls from 12 different individual BLACK-BILLED CUCKOOS and four (4) distinct sequences of three (3) individual YELLOW-BILLED CUCKOOS. One of which flew over very close to my listening station. Other tallies of note include the following: 4 Red-eyed Vireos (song phrases from at least 4 different individuals) 1 Alder Flycatcher (gave both re-be-er and pip calls) 1 Veery 2 Wood Thrushes Several Swainson's Thrushes with a scattering of Gray-cheeked Thrushes 2 Bicknell's Thrush candidates (high frequency Gray-cheeked Thrush-type calls) 1 GRASSHOPPER SPARROW (very distinct and clear individual, which I believe is my first as a night migrant) Good birding and night listening!

[nfc-l] Night Flight - Etna, NY: 5/28-5/29
Wednesday night, there was a significant movement of cuckoos, marking the first of major movement of the season. I hand browsed through those data last night and tallied 26 BLACK-BILLED CUCKOO calls from at least 24 different individuals. I also counted five (5) different individual YELLOW-BILLED CUCKOOS. Other tallies of note include: 1 Red-eyed Vireo (song phrases) 2 Virginia Rail (keeer calls) 2 Alder Flycatchers (re-be-er calls) 1 Indigo Bunting 1 Short-billed Dowitcher flock (at least 2 birds) 1 Eastern Wood-Pewee (pee-urrr call) Several Swainson's and Gray-cheeked Thrushes 1 Bicknell's Thrush candidate (candidate = a relatively high-frequency Gray-cheeked Thrush-type call, but not classic Bicknell's Thrush call). Many more nights to come! Good birding and night listening! Sincerely, Chris T-H -- Christopher T.
