Hi John,=C2=A0
A couple of questions for you!
1. Were you expecting those two huge spikes seen during the last ten days o=
r so of September?=C2=A02. How long have you been doing this and analysing =
the data? (How many years back can you plot the migration patterns for thes=
e sites?)

thanks for sharing your work,

Carmel SmithMidville Branch, NS=20

9465659WordSection1 {}-->Hi All,Nocturnal migration declined further this w=
eek at Carleton, Yarmouth County. Total calls fell to 49 with an estimated =
minimum of 29 individual birds. The most common calls were Dark-eyed Junco =
(28 calls), Fox Sparrow (6), and White-throated Sparrow (5). The first Amer=
ican Tree Sparrow was heard at 8 minutes past midnight on 28 October.Sparro=
ws accounted for 86% of all calls and warblers for 12%. The two warbler spe=
cies recorded were Blackpoll Warbler and Yellow-rumped Warbler.The weather =
radar at Caribou, Maine, displayed a corresponding paucity of migrants. The=
 number of echoes was somewhat higher in Portland, Maine, while there still=
 seemed to be nights of good migration in the mid-Atlantic states.A summary=
 table is found below and additional information with table and charts can =
be found here.John
|  |  | Estimated |
|  | Total | Minimum |
| Species | Calls | Individuals* |
| Dark-eyed Junco | 28 | 11 |

| Unidentified Sparrow | 2 | 2 |
| American Tree Sparrow | 1 | 1 |
