[cayugabirds-l] Freese Road gardens, Wed 9/21
It's starting to feel and look like fall at the Freese Road garden plots. At midday on Wednesday, I found a LINCOLN'S SPARROW, a SWAMP SPARROW, a few dozen SONG SPARROWS, six SAVANNAH SPARROWS, five FIELD SPARROWS, a few INDIGO BUNTINGS, some House Sparrows, and a western PALM WARBLER.

Re:[cayugabirds-l] [nfc-l] big night flight tonight
Ken, I'm not confident in separting Lincoln's and Swamp either, but last night was the first night this season that such calls were fairly abundant and I presume they were Lincoln's due to that species' earlier fall migration pattern in the region (based on diurnal records). Your listening site is over 100 miles east of the Alfred Station microphone, so you undoubtedly had somewhat different species composition -- in the case of Black-throated Blue one might expect higher proportionate calling rate as one proceeds eastward in the state. That said, there were also a lot of short Vermivora calls in the mix last night, perhaps the first substantial wave of Nashville's.

I did hear a few typical "Lincoln's/Swamp sparrow" "dt"s but was not confident enough to report. If there were that few Black-throated Blues, I'm curious what most of the abrupt "tsip" notes might have been? There were certainly way fewer of what I would consider typical buzzy Dendroica-type "zeet" notes than what I'm used to hearing on most nights.

Ken appears to have tuned into one of the biggest calling night of the season so far in central NY. The acoustic station at Alfred Station, NY logged its season high number (988) of warbler and sparrow flight calls last night between 8:30PM-5:30AM. Based on spectrographic analysis roughly 4 out of 100 were Common Yellowthroat, 2 out of 100 were Black-throated Blue, and 2 out of 100 were Chestnut-sided. Also notably in the mix were good numbers of presumed Lincoln's Sparrow calls.
