Hello all,
Apropos several recent threads about eBird Nocturnal Flight Call Count
protocol, and some confusion about how and when to use it, the eBird team
reviewed the protocol's current description. We agreed that there was some
potential for confusion, and we attempted to resolve points of confu
Hello all,
Apologies for not weighing in on this sooner, but I've had some family
issues on top of travel, and lost the previous thread. Could someone please
forward the original discussion about eBird's NFC protocol back to me,
*privately*, and I'll be happy to weigh in on the discussion to the gr
Let me try this again, I am not sure it went through . . .

Thank you, Laurent, Matt, Doug, Rob, and Magnus, for bringing up good
questions and opportunities for discussion! The eBird (Marshall Iliff,

I'd like to chime in on this timely post as well. Thank you, Laurent, for

Hi all,
Semi-briefly . . .
Dan, this is highly typical of morning flight of nocturnal migrants, which
in this case is likely birds engaged in some sort of redetermining (whether
drift compensation or habitat search would be up for debate I suspect).
There are several on this list with a good deal
Hi all,
Painted Redstart flight call is still quite the mystery. In August 2005
Mike Lanzone and I recorded a number of different "flight call" type
vocalizations from free-flying PARE observed in short diurnal flights in

Greetings from texas (for the time being)! A quick note regarding prediction on

Erik, you bring up an interesting point about species' groupings. I

Interesting thread! My experience with *Catharus*, in general for North,

All,
If you want to see early movement on radar, there is a nice departure of
presumably waterfowl from the Lake Charles LA radar for -0130 UTC, 17

velocity image, and see targets moving away from the radar rapidly in a

Hi all,
Great post - I, too, am eager to see what happens with the development of
this system. Following David N and David LP thoughts, with such strong
southerly flow over the Gulf of Mexico later this week, I'd expect a nice
pulse of early spring migrants into the Gulf states and beyond; with wi

Good morning all,
I hope this message finds everyone well. It's been a good inaugural year on
the NFC listserv, and personally I am looking forward to more in depth
discussion in 2010 (and beyond)!
I was thinking about the coming months, and the dearth of posting and
potential posting on the NFC

Heavy calling in Manhattan as well (more details later today or

Good morning all,
There was also good calling activity in Manhattan, NYC, on the East side
just north of the UN, last night - Swainson's Thrush was by far the dominant
migrant, acoustically, with some periods in the middle of the night (~1-2AM)
of 35-40 calls per minute. Additionally, a suite of o

There is much fodder for discussion here, but I'll need to keep this

Manhattan had a nice flight last night as well, including Veery,
