Hi Rick,

This is useful information for me. The calls of Magnolia Warbler and =
Yellow Warbler can be difficult to tell apart so it is good to know that =
both are present on the ground as well as in the air.

Thank you,

John

Hi John,

I have 14 butternut & heartnut trees that are severely skeletonized each =
year in July. I had mixed warbler feeding groups in these trees each day =
roughly July 29-Aug 4. I have eBird reports in for those two dates that =
include all of your top 7 species, plus Black-throated Green and =
Nashville. I felt the majority of these birds, more than half juveniles, =
were migrants, altho several also nest locally. I felt they were =
migrants because they were all there together, especially each morning.

Hi All,

The rate of nocturnal movements of warblers at Carleton, Yarmouth =
County, almost doubled over the previous week. There was a total of 240 =
calls and at least 181 individual birds at a rate of 34 calls per night. =
Warblers composed 99% of the calls recorded. Despite a continuing =
variety in species composition, early migrating warbler species =
dominated the count. The most common species were American Redstart (69 =
calls), Black-and-White Warbler (45 calls), and Yellow Warbler (34 =
calls). The numbers of these three species seemed to indicate true, =
south-bound migration, rather than post-breeding dispersion. A summary =
list can be found below.

The weather radars in the state of Maine, at Caribou and Portland, =
showed only light activity but with evidence of bird migration on most =
nights when there was no rain. This, and previous reports, are posted =
at: http://www.johnfkearney.com/Carleton_YarmouthCounty_2016.html.=20
