Hi All,
Nocturnal migration was light but steady throughout this past week over
Carleton, Yarmouth County. A total of 817 calls, representing at least 669
birds, was recorded. Compared to last week, warblers declined from 86% of
calls to 68% while sparrows increased from 8% to 24%. Thrushes remained the
same at 4% of calls. The most common bird of the week was Common
Yellowthroat at 117 calls, followed by White-throated Sparrow (72), and
Yellow-rumped Warbler (63). The count of this late warbler was nearly triple
what it was last week. Palm Warblers continued in good numbers (55) while
there was a noticeable decline in the once dominant Magnolia Warbler from
329 calls last week to 55 calls this week. The unidentifiable to species
Melospiza flight call also increased three-fold this week (38 calls). These
likely represent mostly Swamp Sparrows at this time in September. The rare
bird for the week was a Brown Thrasher at 6:41 am on 22 September. Uncommon
warblers included a Pine Warbler at 5:41 am on 28 September. A summary table
follows. Additional information can be found at:
