ion This Week=0A =0A=0AThis will be my last report for this season as night=
migration is small and soon weather conditions will place added stress on =
microphones.=0AThis week there were a total 79 night flight calls, mostly s=
parrows including American Tree Sparrows. A possible rare vagrant was recor=
ded this week: one or more Smith=E2=80=99s Longspurs. On October 31, 2012 a=
t 12:59 AM longspur rattles were recorded for a period of 13 seconds. The s=
pectrograms of the rattles fit exceptionally well with Smith=E2=80=99s Long=
spur. The distinguishing characteristics of its rattle are it=E2=80=99s hig=
h frequency compared to Lapland Longspur (more than 1 kHz difference), it=
=E2=80=99s shorter duration (~13 vs 18 ms), and the shape of the individual=
rattle notes, emphasizing a rising note in Smith=E2=80=99s and a descendin=
g note in Lapland. In addition, listening to the rattles and comparing them=
with known recordings of Smith=E2=80=99s and Lapland again strongly sugges=
t Smith=E2=80=99s. (The rattle of the Snow Bunting has a still lower freque=
ncy).=0AThe summary of night flight calls for the week beginning the evenin=
