Fwd: Nocturnal Migration



Since many of our Carolinabirds members are into nocturnal flight note 
listening, I thought they might like to see this posting from the Georgia 
listserv.  It must have been a good night to be on the move!

<<GABO;

Just for fun,  Deb and I did a nocturnal count on Saturday morning from
about 4:45 - 7:00AM.  We had alot of birds passing over, peaking between
6:15 - 6:45AM.   Here is the summary of what we could ID;

Veery   65
Gray-Cheeked Thrush    19
Swainson Thrush    712
Wood Thrush    44
Bobolink    2
Rose-breasted Grosbeak    2
Comon Nighthawk     2
Yellow-crowned Night-Heron    1
Great Horned Owl   1
Warbler type chips    65

and many more calls went unidentifed !

Also,  this afternoon at the sewage line cut in Marietta near our house,
Earl Horn and I found another Yellow-bellied Flycatcher.
