Subject: [MDOSPREY] Susquehanna State Park and Night Listening
Last night there was a very good flight of thrushes over our house in Forest
Hill. I was a little surprised given how windy it was and that did hinder
my listening a bit. Not sure if the wind was worse than road noise though.
I kept fairly accurate count from 10pm to 11pm and was able to hear the
following species:
Black-bellied Plover 1
Semipalmated Plover 5 minimum number of birds, could have been more.
Spotted Sandpiper 1
Solitary Sandpiper 3
Dunlin 1 Suprisingly just one, last time I heard Dunlin at night in Bel
Air, there were dozens
Veery 100 estimated to be 1/3 of Swainson's Thrush
Gray-cheeked Thrush 24 exact count
Bicknell's Thrush 5 exact count, high ratio for Bel Air night
listening, previous late May numbers were more typically 1 BITH for every 8
to 10 GCTH
Swainson's Thrush 300 estimated 5/min over two 5 min periods
Common Yellowthroat 3
warbler sp. 48 8 were Canada/Wilson's type notes, ~30 Blackpoll-type
zeep notes
Rose-breasted Grosbeak 4
Indigo Bunting 1
Bobolink 15
passerine sp. 15 unidentified thrushlike calls
This morning Kim and I birded Susquehanna State Park with Lauren Deaner.
Aside from Blackpolls, true migrants were scarce, but we did have 2 Canada
Warblers. Full list from eBird below.
