Hi all,
As to be expected in this last week of May, nocturnal migration was the most
intense of the entire spring season. The biggest night was 27-28 May when an
estimated 70 birds flew past the monitoring station. While these numbers
would be considered small compared to a night of intense migration in the
autumn, this was the peak night for the entire spring at this location in
southwest Nova Scotia. Total number of flight calls for the week was 239 for
an estimated total birds of 213.
Warblers made up 97% of the birds recorded this week. A total of 18 species
of warblers were identified of which the most common were Common
Yellowthroat (estimated 39 birds), Magnolia Warbler (27), Yellow Warbler
(19), Ovenbird (19), American Redstart (17), and Blackpoll Warbler (12).
The first Alder Flycatcher was heard calling from the ground in the pre-dawn
hours on 31 May. Nocturnal migration usually extends into the first week of
June but in smaller numbers. The latest spring migrants are possible such as
Black-bellied Plover, Swainson's Thrush, and Mourning Warbler.
To see results for entire spring season, go to my website
