Hi All,
The rate of nocturnal movements of warblers at Carleton, Yarmouth County,
almost doubled over the previous week. There was a total of 240 calls and at
least 181 individual birds at a rate of 34 calls per night. Warblers
composed 99% of the calls recorded. Despite a continuing variety in species
composition, early migrating warbler species dominated the count. The most
common species were American Redstart (69 calls), Black-and-White Warbler
(45 calls), and Yellow Warbler (34 calls). The numbers of these three
species seemed to indicate true, south-bound migration, rather than
post-breeding dispersion. A summary list can be found below.
The weather radars in the state of Maine, at Caribou and Portland, showed
only light activity but with evidence of bird migration on most nights when
there was no rain. This, and previous reports, are posted at:
