Re: Re: [cayugabirds-l] [nfc-l] Thursday: Night Flight in Northeast

[Laura Gooch]

Folks,

Last night was also very active in Cleveland Heights, Ohio (just east of 
Cleveland). I started my microphones a little late (22:15), and I've 
only looked at warbler/sparrow frequencies until about 02:30 so far, but I've 
got over 300 hits. Glancing through the remaining 1700 or so 
detections, I think I'm going to have a very high percentage of good 
detections. I'm sure many of these are same species hits within one minute, but 
there were 
obviously lots of birds up. 


Incidentally, I'm close enough to the Lake Erie Shore (about 10 km south) that 
I 
don't get much in the early parts of the night during fall migration. 
Aside from a few birds that originate between me and the lake, the birds that 
fly over my house have presumably had to make it across the lake 
before they get here.


I also gave an assist to two exhausted/window strike warblers this 
morning in a quick walk to a meeting in downtown Cleveland. The 
Nashville and Black-throated Green were struggling with a glass 
building. I watched the loudly chipping Black-throated Green flutter 
frantically against the building before it flutter-fell down to the 
sidewalk... The building may have won, but both birds were gone an hour 
later when I went back to the bushes where I'd left them to check on 
them. Sadly, I don't think either of these guys would have been helped 
by lights out, since they were trying to fly through daytime 
reflections.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] [nfc-l] Thursday: Night Flight in Northeast

[Andrew Horn]

This is a brilliant idea. Last fall there was a big songbird night kill at gas 
plant flares in New Brunswick (reported widely in the media, e.g., 
here),
 on a night when anyone following this or related lists would’ve seen that it 
was a bad night to keep the lights on.

Just saying,

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 20 or so heard 
around 6 am), but I rarely hear many calls on windy nights even if there are no 
trees to rustle. The calm night of 9/17 was much better at Hawk Mt., with over 
500 calls in 20 minutes starting at 6 am, most Swainson's & Wood Thrushes (also 
lots of Wood Thrushes calling in the woods after daylight), with 13 Gray-cheek 
calls thrown in. I also rarely hear warblers in the dawn descent period, even 
when I find good numbers of them in the area after daylight.

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 calls and equally few during the thrush 
descent. Herons and bitterns seem to be vocal in the first three or four hours 
of the night, and then wane after that. I’m not sure what the cause or purpose 
is for this decrease in vocal activity in warblers after midnight.

Last night, there were hundreds of Swainson’s Thrushes and Rose-breasted 
Grosbeaks calling, tens of Gray-cheeked Thrushes with a single potential 
Bicknell’s Thrush candidate, a good handful of Wood Thrushes and Veeries in the 
mix. No Hermit Thrushes. A couple of Scarlet Tanager candidates. At least one 
American Bittern, two probable Least Bitterns (I’d like to discuss this later 
on NFC-L) and several Green Herons. Two American Woodcocks flew by shortly 
after the start of civil twilight, one stopping the wing twittering long enough 
to utter some very soft and gentle buzzy squeaks that I’ve never heard before, 
then continuing with the wing twittering.

I can attest to the enormous flight in southwestern Pennsylvania this
morning. Still analyzing recordings but as a preview I am up to just shy of
900 Swainson's Thrush calls in the last 30 minutes before civil twilight,
along with 51 Gray-cheeked, 15 Wood Thrush, and <10 Rose-breasted Grosbeak
and Scarlet Tanager. Warblers calls in total are at about 90. Still
analyzing with a long way to go, which will greatly up the totals of
Swainson's and Gray-cheeked judging by what I heard in real time. Later in
the morning I had 15 sp. of warbler at a local migration hotspot.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Fwd: [nfc-l] Thursday: Night Flight in Northeast

[Spahr, Timothy]

Hi All, I just did the hour or so before sunrise (from Marlborough, MA) and
had a really nice flight.  Strangely quiet on the warbler front, but I did
have:


1 Solitary Sandpiper
2 Gray-cheeked Thrush
1 Gray-cheeked/Bicknell's Thursh
~25 Swainson's Thrush
2 double-banded upsweeps (BTNW, TEWA, etc)
1 lightly buzzy warbler, perhaps NOWA or very late LOWA
1 Savannah Sparrow

Looks like we'll get another good night or two in the beginning of next
week.  Looking forward to it!

Tim
