There have been very heavy nocturnal movements over Northern Nova Scotia the
last few nights.
Night of September 7-8: 1,561 night flight calls recorded on the 21c of which
about 1,300 occurred between 8 pm and midnight.
Night of September 8-9: 369 night flight calls
Night of September 9-10: 15
I listened last night from 2:15am-5:45 am, most of that time out on my patio
with an earphone from my OldBird 21c mic in one ear. I recorded all night, and
got over 150 thrush calls and 180 tseep-x detected calls with dozens of tseep
calls heard. It's going to take me a while to wade through
I just crunched last night’s flight calls from my station in the Town Danby NY
- a few miles south of Ithaca. 487 warbler and sparrow flight calls from
9PM-5AM (21c/tseep-x). This is the high nightly total since this station began
in mid-August.
Getting late for Mourning Warbler but I did have
That should have read:
"from about 9pm to 2am"

composition to Chris, plus a Gray-cheeked Thrush, Wood Thrush, Scarlet Tanager
and a couple other things (and minus Mourning Warbler). Braved the 45-degree
temps in a sweatshirt, but totally worth it!

I'm not in crack shape right now, but I spent a few stops listing here in
Madison, Wisconsin. We had a major flight last night. The bulk of the birds
were Swainson's Thrushes, followed by Hermit Thrushes, with a few
Grey-cheeks in there too. The rest of were not my expertise (that is,
nothing excep
Another heads-up...
Tonight looks very good for a night migration. Should see a good push of birds
down from southern Canada into the US. How this plays out depends upon where
listening stations are relative to the high pressure system moving across the
Northeast. For example, regions west of R
