Hi All,
Nocturnal migration over Carleton, Yarmouth Co., was the heaviest so far
this year. The total call count was 1,698 which represents an estimated
minimum number of 1,296 individual birds. Warblers still dominated the night
skies with 86% of all calls. Sparrows at 8% surpassed thrushes (4%) for the
first time. The peak night of the week and of the fall season was the night
of September 16-17 when 524 night flight calls were recorded. Despite this
peak, the steady passage of Magnolia Warblers (329), Common Yellowthroats
(212), and Blackpoll Warblers (135) throughout the week was impressive. The
most common sparrow was Savannah at 51 calls, and the most common thrush was
Swainson's at 57 calls. This week saw a strong increase in the number of
Palm Warblers (from half a dozen per week to 46 calls). The only rare bird
this week was Wood Thrush, the second one this year. A summary for the week
is provided below. Formatted tables and additional information can be found
at: http://www.johnfkearney.com/Carleton_YarmouthCounty_2015.html.
