There was a large flight the night of 27-28 August with 300 calls recorded. Overall for the week, there was a total 934 calls at a rate of 93 per night and an estimated minimum of 763 birds. With the beginnings of the Swainson's Thrush migration this week, the percentage of warbler calls fell to 90% of the total. The most common species were American Redstart (148 calls), Common Yellowthroat (92), Northern Parula (84), Black-and-White Warbler (69), Magnolia Warbler (65), and Swainson's Thrush (53). There were some good nights for Northern Waterthrush, Black-throated Blue Warbler, and Cape May Warbler. The rare bird for the week was a possible Yellow-throated Warbler. Its call is very similar to Northern Parula but an analysis of its spectrogram better fit the parameters for a Yellow-throated Warbler. There was a good correlation of the birds recorded at Carleton and the number of (bird) echoes on the weather radar at Caribou, Maine. This was especially true on the night of 27-28 August when the Caribou radar showed a density of 227 (bird) echoes per cubic kilometer. Graphic representations of Carleton call counts and correlations with the Caribou radar can be found on my website (http://www.johnfkearney.com/Carleton_YarmouthCounty_2016.html) and a summary table for the week is below.
