There was a total of 828 calls, at a nightly rate of 118. Species consisted 79% of warblers, 11% of thrushes, 9% of sparrows, and 1% of other family types. The most common species of the week were Common Yellowthroat with 181 calls, Magnolia Warbler (71), Northern Parula (54), Blackpoll Warbler (47), Black-and-white Warbler (44), American Redstart (40), Black-throated Green Warbler (39), and Swainson's Thrush (36). There was a marked increase in Palm Warblers (22), and the first movement of Hermit Thrushes was on 15 September. Cape May Warblers (2) were scarce while Black-throated Blue Warblers continued at the same pace (21) as previously. A further expected increase in Yellow-rumped Warblers did not yet materialize. Rare birds for the week were Indigo Bunting and Gray-cheeked Thrush (22 September at 0404 hrs). The Gray-cheeked Thrush has quite a distinct flight call which you can hear by clicking on this link: Gray-cheeked Thrush Flight Call <http://www.johnfkearney.com/ESW/Sounds/GCTH.wav> . The best time to listen is in the hour or two before dawn. A summary for the week follows in the table below.
