5/1-2/20 8:30 PM - 4:30 AM — Yard, Westport, CT Just finished looking through the spectrograms of last night's calls (recorded by Old Bird 21-c microphone strapped to roof). Southerly winds brought appreciable diversity, but rather tame numbers. Birds appeared to continue moving in spite of the shift to northerly winds. The warbler break down (estimated from number and spacing of flight calls) was as follows: Ovenbird – 10; Northern waterthrush – 3; Black-and-white warbler – 5; American redstart – 4; Northern parula – 1; Black-throated blue warbler – 2; Palm warbler – 2; Pine warbler – 1; Yellow-rumped warbler – 3 This is an addition to myriad unidentified and unidentifiable calls, as well as 39 savannah sparrows and 15 chipping sparrows. Birding this morning yielded some interesting observations. Some migrant flyovers seen from the yard, mostly yellow-rumps, were likely engaging in corrective flight after having been blown over the Long Island Sound. At Gorham Island, the trend continued with a few flyover migrants, including several flocks of blue jays navigating up the river, adding up to a total of 80. Other notable migrants at Gorham included 2 flyover eastern kingbirds, 1 American kestrel, 4 least sandpipers, and, of course, a few flyover loons. Preston Lust, Westport
