Thrushes this morning

[david nicosia]

There was a heavy flight of mainly SWAINSON'S THRUSHES from my home before daylight. I did hear about 6-8 calls of GRAY-CHEEKED THRUSHES also which are later migrants. Additionally, I had a few ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAKS, possible SCARLET TANAGER and some warblers. I am pretty sure BLACKPOLL. I did a 20 minute audio recording which I will have to break down into pieces. Hopefully I can ID more certainly some of the warblers I heard with the spectrograms. Anyway, the next stronger cold front should have more GRAY-CHEEKED THRUSHES as they peak late September into early October.

Dave,

Thanks for the text this morning on the thrush migration.  I was up early preparing to head to North Norwich. Figured it would be a great birding day.  I went outside for about 10 minutes at 6 AM.  I heard at least 7 Swainson's and the sharp call of one Gray-cheeked.  I tried Merlin for a few minutes.  It picked up the Swainson's and also Red-breasted Nuthatch.  These might be local birds as I have a number of them around the house.  - Mike
