Hi All,

Nocturnal migration at Beaver River during the first week of September had
the highest call count and estimated number of birds for the autumn
migration to this point. It was up considerably (20%) from the last week of
August (502 calls per night compared to 420), and up 5% from the 3rd week of
August (477 calls per night).

 

American Redstarts still continued to dominate in abundance with an
estimated 379 birds. The most common other warblers were Black-and-White
Warbler (202) and Common Yellowthroat (200). There was a very large flight
of Wilson's Warblers on the night of 31 August to 1 September with 222 calls
and 122 estimated birds. They even outnumbered the American Redstarts on
that night.

 

The Swainson's Thrush migration continued strongly, and there was a
noticeable start of the sparrow migration with an estimated 58 Savannah
Sparrows. The Red-breasted Nuthatch eruption continued although it has been
declining over the last three weeks.

 

Unusual birds for the week included 2 Vesper Sparrows (one at one at 2208
hours on 1 September and another at 2111 hours on 6 September), 2 Indigo
Buntings (one at 2253 hours on 1 September and one on 2204 hours on 6
September), and 1 Scarlet Tanager at 2105 hours on 31 August. 

 

A summary for the week can be found at
http://www.johnfkearney.com/Beaver_River_Yarmouth_County_Autumn_2018.html.
Nightly details are available on eBird.

 

John
