Re: [nfc-l] help with a mystery call from a few years back

Sure sounds like House Sparrows (at least through my phone). Maybe something disturbed their roost? Ken Sent from my iPhone On Feb 22, 2013, at 6:48 PM, "Andy Martin" mailto:apmart...@gmail.com>> wrote: Every once in a while I go back through my mystery call file to see if (with a little

Re: [nfc-l] Night Flight - Upstate NY

Between 10:45 and 11 PM, I heard 3 distinct GRAY-CHEEKED THRUSHES over Ithaca, NY -- seems a bit late for them but clearly they are still migrating out of the Northeast U.S. Also a few Savannah Sparrows and a "Dendroica" warbler. KEN Ken Rosenberg Conservation Science Program Cornell Lab of

I was thinking Saw-whet Owl (which are migrating big time now in northeastern U.S.). I've never heard a Barn Owl do quite that call, but certainly possible KEN Ken Rosenberg Conservation Science Program Cornell Lab of Ornithology 607-254-2412 607-342-4594 (cell)

Re: [nfc-l] migrating cuckoos

Hi all, I just heard a YELLOW-BILLED CI|UCKOO high over my house at 10:50 this evening -- giving the long "K'OW K'OW" call series. thanks for all the info and anecdotes on mid-summer calling in cuckoos, I am aware of the odd mid-summer calling and I have heard (mostly BBCU} on warm summer

[nfc-l] migrating cuckoos

I was surprised to step out in my driveway (Ithaca NY) this evening and hear 4 BLACK-BILLED CUCKOOS in 15 minutes (3 in the first 5 minutes). Maybe caught the tail end of a migration burst, but at least some mysterious migrants are continuing to move at night. KEN Ken Rosenberg Conservation

Re: [nfc-l] Help with NFC

Hi all, 2 years ago, on 25 May (about 12:45 AM), I heard (with my "naked ear" no recorder) an Alder Flycatcher giving its full song Fee-BEE-o several times as it migrated over my house in Ithaca, NY. I've heard other flycatchers giving full songs overhead in spring, but have not heard them

Re: [nfc-l] Night Migrating Raptors

I would suspect that the nocturnal movements by raptors will turn out to be primarily over water -- where the total flight range involved necessitates a partly nocturnal crossing. Are there any other night-time records from the Gulf oil platform work a while back? Satellite tracking data may

Re: [nfc-l] First night flight of 2012?

Hi all, The topic of night-time roosting is a bit different from migration, but could potentially prove to be another interesting application of NFC research -- if birds potentially call, say in the pre-dawn, while exiting roosts. I think this is one of the least known aspect of bird biology.

Re: [nfc-l] First night flight of 2012?

Ithaca, NY had it's first Killdeer of the year yesterday, so a few birds are likely moving (but north with the mild weather, or south with the arriving cold snap??) KEN Ken Rosenberg Conservation Science Program Cornell Lab of Ornithology 607-254-2412 607-342-4594 (cell)

I also just finished listening for 30 minutes at Ithaca -- 11:15-11:45 counted 138 "thrush calls, nearly all of which sounded like SWAINSON'S THRUSH. Only 4 GRAY-CHEEKED THRUSH tonight, and no Wood Thrush. Some calls were probably ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK, and a couple had a strange "poink"

Re: [nfc-l] big night flight tonight

Thanks Bill. I did hear a few typical "Lincoln's/Swamp sparrow" "dt"s but was not confident enough to report. If there were that few Black-throated Blues, I'm curious what most of the abrupt "tsip" notes might have been? There were certainly way fewer of what I would consider typical buzzy
