Hi All,

 

Nocturnal migration for the week at Beaver River, Yarmouth County, totaled
1,162 estimated birds from 1,759 night flight calls. This total was more
than 2.5 times the number of birds recorded at Cape Forchu during the same
week last year. At least half of this increase is likely due to the
increased sensitivity of the microphone used at Beaver River.

 

The most common birds were American Redstart (168 estimated birds), Yellow
Warbler (141), Chestnut-sided Warbler (134), and Magnolia Warbler (121).
There was a very strong migration this week of Canada Warblers with 98 night
flight calls for an estimated 73 birds.

 

Rare or unusual birds this week were 2 Upland Sandpipers at 0013 hours on 13
August, 1 Dickcissel at 0327 hours on 13 August, and 1 Indigo Bunting at
2202 hours on 11 August.
