It was a slow week for night migration over Antigonish County this week.
Poor weather made migration difficult no doubt but overall it seems that we
are now past the peak movements. Among the 321 flight calls recorded this
week, sparrows were again dominant. White-throated Sparrows were the most
common, followed by Song Sparrow, Savannah Sparrow, and Dark-eyed Junco.
Warblers were reduced to a total of only 15 calls. Rare or unusual birds
this week were Orange-crowned Warbler (probable) with 1 call on 2 different
nights and Indigo Bunting (probable) with 4 calls within a few seconds of
each other. The summary of all flight calls for the week beginning the
evening of October 12 and ending the morning of October 19 is as follows:
Golden-crowned Kinglet - 1
Hermit Thrush - 2
American Robin - 5
Yellow-rumped Warbler - 10
Orange-crowned Warbler - 2
Common Yellowthroat - 3
Chipping Sparrow - 11
Savannah Sparrow - 60
Song Sparrow - 68
Lincoln's/Swamp Sparrow - 13
White-throated Sparrow - 77
Dark-eyed Junco - 32
Other unidentified sparrows - 23
Indigo Bunting - 4
Other unidentified songbirds - 5
Other unidentified birds - 5
Total - 321
