[nfc-l] Catharus thrushes in weird places

2017-11-09 Thread Magnus Robb
I like the idea of a detector for Catharus thrushes on Scilly! But there are two places perhaps better qualified than that. This year saw three records in Cork, southwest Ireland and just one on Scilly. But the ‘European’ capital for North American vagrants is now Corvo in the Azores (actually i

I agree with Ken this is definitely a Gray-cheeked Thrush. Interestingly, GCTH tracked from breeding grounds in western British Columbia via geolocators and GPS units show routes eastward across Montana prior to moving south toward the Gulf of Mexico. Christopher Heckscher ___

Hey, all. Here's a little ditty, posted this morning to The ABA Blog, on Debbie Leick's Gray-cheeked Thrush in Montana, USA. Also, the broader story of the online version of Flight Calls of Migratory Birds. Here: http://blog.aba.org/2017/11/nocturnal-flight-calls-online.html Ted Floyd Lafayette,

Ken, my boss, Kate Stone, is on the MT Bird Records Committee. We couldn't ask for a better NFC advocate! Ted, thanks for the shout out in the ABA blog. Just to clarify that Carrie Voss initially spotted this call. She is processing and reviewing data from our 25+ microphone array we installed t

[nfc-l] Zoom H1 recorder: can I charge it via a USB Power Bank?

Hello all I am new to the list and am interested in night call recordings. I use a couple of Zoom H1 recorders with a pair of Primo EM 172 microphone capsules. I'd like to replace the AA battery with a power supply from an USB Power Bank (5V): does anyone have experience of this kind of supply?

Hello Christopher and all, I am unfamiliar with a study from British Columbia tracking Gray-cheeked Thrush (but I would be happy to be directed to any such studies). There was a study that compared migration routes of different Swainson's Thrush populations from BC, and that might be what is be

Hi All, I apologize for the confusion. I am also not aware of any published information on the routes of Gray-cheeked Thrush migrating from Brithish Columbia. In addition to the link provided by Nathan regarding Swainson's Thrush, the below articles show Veery (not GCTH) breeding in BC use an

Magnus, The Swiss recording does not sound like a Swainson's Thrush to me, other than superficially. The spectrographic signature of this call doesn't look right, either. Could this simply be a Chaffinch? Its quite low-pitched, and there seems to be a bit of echo. I rarely hear finches at night in

Hello, If I understand correctly, you want to plug your device into an electrical outlet? I never thought about it with a USB Power Bank 5V. Tell me please if someone answered you. Dioni Loïc Sauvé Laval, Québec 2017-11-09 14:09 GMT-05:00 : > Hello all > > I am new to the list and am interested
