The higher warbler count species are what I ran across when out birding on =
Aug. 26 here in Lunenburg County in around Mahone Bay.

Subject: [NatureNS] Nocturnal Migration for the 3rd Week of August
Hi All,
Nocturnal migration at Beaver River, Yarmouth County, doubled in magnitude =
over the previous week with a total of 3,344 night flight calls and an esti=
mated 2, 214 birds. This is 2.3 times the magnitude recorded at Cape Forchu=
for the same week in 2017.
American Redstarts dominated the totals this week with an estimated 385 bir=
ds, followed by Chestnut-sided Warbler (207), Magnolia Warbler (191), North=
ern Parula (158), Canada Warbler (133), Black-and-White Warbler (123), and =
Yellow Warbler (120). A total of 23 warbler species were recorded.
The number of Canada Warblers is very encouraging. The flight call of the C=
anada Warbler is very distinctive and is not easily confused with any other=
species. It is one of the few flight calls that can be quickly learned by =
ear without software help.
Also of note this week is the number or Red-breasted Nuthatches. Most years=
I record very few of these, and the estimated 62 birds this week indicates=
that we are in an eruptive year.
By way of comparison, there was a large flight of American Redstarts at Cap=
e May, New Jersey, about a week after the first large flights at Beaver Riv=
er. On 24 August, 464 redstarts were counted there in morning flight.
Thrushes began their migration this week with an estimated 26 Swainson=92s =
Thrush and 13 Veery. The only sparrows were an estimated 13 Savannah Sparro=
w and 1 Chipping Sparrow. The most common shorebird was Solitary Sandpiper =
(7).
Both Upland Sandpiper and Indigo Bunting gave repeat performances this week=
. One Upland Sandpiper at 2100 hours on 17 August and one Indigo Bunting at=
2129 hours on 21 August.
Details can be found at: http://www.johnfkearney.com/Beaver_River_Yarmouth_=
County_Autumn_2018.html and nightly data can be found on eBird.
