Hi James and all,
It is interesting to hear about the changes you noticed during the past
week. Do you think these birds have dispersed to other places in the
province or that they have left the province to go south for the winter?
Normally the early migrants that I hear in my recordings in August are
largely American Redstarts and Yellow Warblers. But those I heard this week
were a wide variety of warbler species. As for flycatchers and vireos, these
are one of the few groups of birds that don't call at night when they are
migrating so they are always a big question mark for me.
Cheers,
John

Hi John and all:
Based on my field trip this weekend past, I would say that warblers have
definitely started migration earlier than normal. I only had seven species.
I know that many more species were present over the summer on territory in
the places that we visited and they were absent on July 23. Also
representative numbers of the seven species of warblers that we did get were
low. We had mostly juveniles with adults and most of the juveniles still
with what I call peach fuzz. Very noticeably missing were common
yellowthroat, Magnolia warbler, blackburnian, and Canada warbler. We also
only found one yellow warbler. I always get blue-headed vireoand they were
gone as were eastern wood pewees and least flycatchers. Alder flycatcher
numbers were also down and this species is usually found the whole way along
the route that I follow. So I think that it is more than just the warblers
that are on the move early.

Subject: [NatureNS] Early Warbler Movement
Hi All,
Warblers have begun moving at night. These are likely landscape changes
rather than south-bound migration at this early date. Last night at
Carleton, Yarmouth County, I recorded 14 warbler calls; 4 Ovenbird, 3
Northern Parula, 3 Magnolia Warbler, 1 Chestnut-sided Warbler, 1
Black-and-white Warbler, 1 Nashville Warbler, and 1 Blackburnian Warbler.
John
