Hi All,

Nocturnal migration declined further this week at Carleton, Yarmouth County.
Total calls fell to 49 with an estimated minimum of 29 individual birds. The
most common calls were Dark-eyed Junco (28 calls), Fox Sparrow (6), and
White-throated Sparrow (5). The first American Tree Sparrow was heard at 8
minutes past midnight on 28 October.

Sparrows accounted for 86% of all calls and warblers for 12%. The two
warbler species recorded were Blackpoll Warbler and Yellow-rumped Warbler.

The weather radar at Caribou, Maine, displayed a corresponding paucity of
migrants. The number of echoes was somewhat higher in Portland, Maine, while
there still seemed to be nights of good migration in the mid-Atlantic
states.

A summary table is found below and additional information with table and
charts can be found here
