\"Golden-crowned
Golden-crowned Kinglet, by Sumiko Onishi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

PIBO\u2019s\u00a0 fall migration coverage season reached the halfway point on September 23rd<\/sup>, which coincided with the most active morning of the autumn to date. Sixty-four species were noted that day during the standard count period and 71 birds of eighteen species were banded. There were\u00a0 a number of other fairly active mornings from the 21st<\/sup> \u2013 30th<\/sup>, but, for the most part, the final ten days of the month were largely uneventful compared to previous years.\u00a0 Similar conditions have prevailed this fall at PIBO as well as a number of other migration stations in Ontario.<\/p>\n

Steady rain on the 21st<\/sup> made for a quiet time and just the census and some additional observations were taken. The weather improved the next day and a range of migrants appeared including 14 warbler species. Ruby-crowned Kinglet and Lincoln\u2019s Sparrow were new for the fall. A nice variety of birds were banded in small numbers including Yellow-bellied Flycatcher, Wood Thrush, Gray Catbird, Tennessee and Magnolia Warblers, Ovenbird and Northern Waterthrush.<\/p>\n

Sixteen warbler species were recorded on September 23rd<\/sup> along with five fall \u2018firsts\u2019 \u2013 Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, Winter Wren, American Pipit, Savannah Sparrow, and Rusty Blackbird. Thrushes were active in the netting area \u2013 18 Swainson\u2019s and 8 Gray-cheeked were banded \u2013 along with moderate numbers of\u00a0 nine banded warbler species, 5 Red-eyed Vireos, and the station\u2019s second captured Cooper\u2019s Hawk. Activity tapered off somewhat on the 24th<\/sup> but there were still quite a few birds around in small numbers including ten warbler spp<\/em>., a banded Philadelphia Vireo, and the first Golden-crowned Kinglets of the season.<\/p>\n

A similar morning on September 25th<\/sup> produced 50 species during the official count including 11 warbler species and a fall \u2018first\u2019 for Brown Creeper. Kinglets and White-throated Sparrows were active on the 26th<\/sup> along with good numbers of Winter Wrens (22) and the first Eastern White-crowned Sparrows of the fall.<\/p>\n

The winds shifted to the southwest on September 27th<\/sup> and migration tapered off accordingly, with 38 species and just 4 warbler species noted that day. Kinglets, thrushes, and Winter Wrens remained fairly active as the month came to a close, with 43 Golden-crowned and 15 wrens tallied on the 30th<\/sup>, and a few additional fall \u2018firsts\u2019 were noted, including Eastern Meadowlark on the 28th<\/sup>. While cormorant numbers have thinned out in the last few weeks, 2500 birds were recorded at the tip on September 29th<\/sup>, along with 8 Bald Eagles.<\/p>\n

PIBO\u2019s next migration update will be posted on October 12th<\/sup>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
