Re: [nfc-l] Intersting pattern in data recording

[Jim Danzenbaker]

Hi John,

That's great information.

I don't hear many nocturnal non-thrush calls compared to you listeners in
the East but the ones I do hear are usually in the first several hours
after dusk up to about 2 am ish.

Meena brought up an interesting point regarding the possibility that call
spikes at different locations could be based on from where and how long the
birds have been flying.  I hadn't considered that.  Of course, altitude of
the listening location would be a key feature to bring into the analysis as
somebody else had stated.

RE: [nfc-l] Intersting pattern in data recording

[John Kearney]

Hi All,

I believe some of the variability can be accounted for by the species or
family composition of the flight calls you are recording. Below is a graph
of the distribution of flight calls by family for last autumn at an inland,
forested site in Nova Scotia. 

Interesting thread!

John

Hi Jeff and all, 

Thanks for your feed back.  It is getting more interesting!  I just looked
at the data of Sep 21 2015 when I recorded over thousand calls.  As Jeff
mentioned it peaked around 2 am. 

As for Swainsons Thrushes, I have been recording very few calls or no calls
at all, when some other people in my locality have been reporting lots of
them. Just as crow flies a mile down stream from me from Schoellkopf's
stadium someone recorded several of them the other night.  So it seems it is
very interesting. 

 

I will look at my data from last year's sometimes soon. 

 

So what makes them to peak at different times on different days?  Does it
denote from where and how long they have been making their journey? 

 

BTW, Jeff I still have your bug book. If send me your mailing address I will

All,

 

Out here in southwestern Washington State, I have a steady flow of very
vocal Swainson's Thrushes flying over every night.  Like others on this list

Hi all, 

I have been recording in Ithaca NY for last few days. I am finding an
interesting pattern in number of calls recorded per hour (between 9.00 pm to

I am not sure why that pattern. Whether that is the time when they are ready

Hi Jeff and all,

Thanks for your feed back.  It is getting more interesting!  I just looked at 
the data of Sep 21 2015 when I recorded over thousand calls.  As Jeff mentioned 
it peaked around 2 am.

As for Swainsons Thrushes, I have been recording very few calls or no calls at 
all, when some other people in my locality have been reporting lots of them. 
Just as crow flies a mile down stream from me from Schoellkopf's  stadium 
someone recorded several of them the other night.  So it seems it is very

I will look at my data from last year's sometimes soon.

All,

Out here in southwestern Washington State, I have a steady flow of very
vocal Swainson's Thrushes flying over every night.  Like others on this
list serve, I've noted that the number of calls increasing dramatically
about an hour or so before dawn.  I've often wondered if they are calling
this commonly all night and are just more easily heard as they descend or
whether they call more frequently near dawn.

In Delaware, my calls steadily increase throughout the night, peaking about
an hour and a half before sunrise (4:45-5:00 approximately).

RE: [nfc-l] Intersting pattern in data recording

[Caitlin Coberly]

Recording in central Michigan, my calls were peaking at about 4:00 AM-right
by the shores of Lake Huron.  My guess is that is when they are flying low
and looking to land.  I'd have to look at my old data, but I think my inland
recorders (not near woodlots) did not see the same peak.  Fall and spring
were very different as well.

Subject: [nfc-l] Intersting pattern in data recording

 

Hi all, 

I have been recording in Ithaca NY for last few days. I am finding an
interesting pattern in number of calls recorded per hour (between 9.00 pm to
5.30 am). My recordings of the calls peak around 3.00 am in the morning. So
I am not sure why that pattern. Whether that is the time when they are ready
to touch down so they fly low in search of good locations or something else
is happening? I am curious to know how others are finding. If any Ithaca
recorders are out there have you looked at the pattern? Bill Evans who has
been recording form Danby area in Ithaca sent me a pattern for one day and
that day it peaked around 1.00 am and it also at higher elevation of 1500
ft, while I am at at 821 feet. 

 

Here is the actual data.

 

 



 

Any thoughts are welcome!

Hi Preston and all,

I downloaded the calls you sent. The first one is a "double-up" warbler
mostly likely one in the genus Oreothlypis (Nashville, Tennessee, and
Orange-crowned). I would lean toward Tennessee for this one due to the nice
bend in the spectrogram. When I first looked at the second call, I thought
it was a Magnolia Warbler due to the spacing between humps, but on closer
examination its high frequency, number of humps, depth between humps, and
somewhat descending character fit better with Cape May Warbler.

Night of 9/01-02/16; Westport, Connecticut

 

I recorded an interesting call that night (the night of a small cold front),
and was wondering if anyone could aid me in its identification. Thank you
for any input.
