[Maine-birds] Interesting Vocalization: Whippoorwill

As previously reported, we have been hearing a whippoorwill regularly at our house at dawn and dusk. (And now!) What was remarkable about tonight was at 8:55 pm, there were clearly two of them together not far from me. I was on a screened porch. When they were together, I heard a click then lengthy, rapid "PAW-PAW-PAW-PAW...!" call, sort of a vaguely electronic sound. Then one flew away to the northwest and the other alighted on a picnic table about 15 feet from me. I saw it clearly. Pretty fantastic!

As the bird/birds have been so close, I always hear the click before the WHIP-POOR-WILL call but this was totally, totally different.

I wish I had recorded that vocalization. Maybe another night! Anyone ever hear that?

[Maine-birds] Whippoorwill

We have been graced with a whippoorwill again this year. It "graced" us for over fifteen minutes at 4 AM right next to our house in West Kennebunk on 5/28 and then repeatedly around 8:30 - 9:00 last night at a similar daylight/nightlight. We have been hearing it intermittently at a distance for the last two weeks.

Re: [Maine-birds] Blue Jay migration - I compiled your replies

The NRCM had a piece about blue jay migration on their FB page recently. Tammy

I got a LOT of replies, and I apologize for not compiling these sooner. (I hope I recaptured every one of these)

This spring I've repeatedly seen notably large flocks of migrating jays and at least one other birder I've spoken with has noticed the same. On Saturday I saw two flocks of about 25 each over the Scarborough River Wildlife Sanctuary. And on a recent day at Biddeford Pool I saw at least 100 jays over a short period of time in several different flocks. I don't recall seeing movements like this before in 15 years of birding in Maine -- Brad
There are large movements of Blue Jays this time of year along the south shore of Lake Ontario - they move east to avoid flying over 50 miles of water, and then go up the east shore and cross the St. Lawrence. (This is what most northbound migrant birds do.) However, these Blue Jays do not group together, they are a constant but diffuse stream. -- Alicia
About two weeks ago, I think, (while we were still in Brunswick) I saw a group of maybe 20 or so, all silent, which surprised me; all moving in the same direction. I suppose they could be "short-distance migrants," eh? -- Tom
My goodness, yes. I've seen 30+ doing the same thing multiple times over the last week. By my observation, a lot of blue jays left the state this winter, and they're wicked late flocking back in. Apparently, chickadees are doing it, too. -- Bob
Big flocks here on Monhegan (Island) making feints at group departure, as well. -- Kristen
On Monhegan around 9:30am, Friday May 19, Betsy and I observed a group of 35-40 jays moving northwesterly above the boreal forest north of the village. Over the next couple or more minutes there were individual jays moving generally in the same direction the group had taken. -- Dave
I've seen 20-40 Blue Jays migrating together like you're describing, sticking close to the trees — a few times in spring and also fall. But what really left an impression on me are a couple aggregations I've seen at fall hawkwatch sites. Once at Lighthouse Point in early October I saw a flock of maybe 600 highly agitated Blue Jays, with a few Red-winged Blackbirds mixed in, bunched up waiting to cross the falcon-infested airspace over Long Island Sound. The locals said that was not uncommon. Peace & good birding -- Scott
I've been noticing the same thing over the past few weeks. And, we've had the biggest invasion of White-throated Sparrows in our yard that I've ever seen. It started several weeks ago and ebbed and flowed. I never made an accurate count, but I estimate about 15 individuals in the yard on multiple occasions. And then they abruptly disappeared a few days ago. Haven't seen any since. -- Wally
At Schoodic on Saturday, blue jay flocks of 40, 17, 13, 8 and stragglers by 1 or 2s. All during the morning from 6:15 to 9:30. Also had a single flock of 65 fly over downtown Belfast a couple of days ago. -- Seth
I do believe it was Don Mairs that told me of large flocks of dozens of Blue Jays in the the spring. It was many years later but I finally saw the BLJAs streaming by while banding birds at Riverpoint Conservation Area 2010s. Since then I've seen a few more, while driving. Better seen while standing. I think Ed Jenkins has seen the flocks at Riverpoint as well. I don't remember if Don gave the reason for why BLJAs do this, and I'm still wondering. - Rob
When I lived in northeast Ohio, it was a regular sight on spring migration to watch a steady stream of Blue Jays heading east along the shore of Lake Erie. Clearly, they would rather fly around than over the Great Lakes. The count for a morning would often easily be measured in hundreds. With Blue Jays, "flock" hardly seems to be the correct term since they advance like an infantry unit in a string most of the time. I noticed Blue Jay movement here in Waterville a couple of weeks ago, but haven't really seen it since. -- Ian
My expert at Derby Hill Hawk watch on L. Ontario, says they do fly in flocks there, also with stragglers. I had not noticed that in my years there. Barbara
Yes quite often over the years. Noticeable not necessarily because of the size of flocks but because of the behavior, direct flights above treetops which implies migration. I've often wondered if they migrate at night as well. -- Robert
When I was an active bander I banded a Blue Jay in Sorrento (Maine) that hit a window in Foxboro, Mass 48 hours later. -- Bill

Many thanks to all of you for these affirmations and interesting details.

=========
For what it's worth, Birds of the World has this:

Spring
Migration across range is concentrated in late Apr-late May. Rarely, flights reported in Jun and early Jul.
Migration is much less conspicuous in spring than fall in Florida, with jays observed moving north numbering in the tens from late Mar through Apr. In Arkansas, occurs from mid-Mar through mid-May, with a peak in the second half of Apr. Spring flocks usually <30 birds, although >1,000/h were counted on 23 Apr 1960. In Missouri, movements most conspicuous from mid-Apr to late May, with peak during the last week of Apr and first week of May, when several hundred may be seen in a day.
In Illinois, spring migration is less tied to physiographic features such as rivers than is fall migration, and jays are more common in upland forests than in flood plain forests in the Upper Mississippi River. Early and late dates from Illinois are 14 Mar and 26 May, respectively. High counts of up to 800/h fall from 18 Apr to 2 May in the southern two-thirds of the state, and from 1 to 21 May in the north.
In Ohio, migratory movements are more conspicuous in spring than fall, but this effect is in large part the result of migration along Lake Erie. Flocks of 5-30 individuals are most common in interior counties, but along the lake counts of 200-700/h is typical, with flights of 1,000-2,000/h and estimates of 5,000-10,000/d recorded. Migration begins 15-22 Apr and continues through 3-10 Jun . Blue Jays migrate north across Lake Superior into s. Ontario.
In Maryland, earliest arrival was 14 Apr, migration peak 21 Apr to 6 May, and latest departure 18 May. At Cape May, NJ, migration is much less spectacular in spring than in fall, with maxima around 100/d. Migration there is also considerably later than in the central U.S., with numbers peaking in late May and early Jun, and some apparent migratory flights observed in late Jun and early Jul. Spring migration is concentrated in May in Massachusetts, with daily counts reaching 300-500 not uncommon. Maximum count of 1,500 in 1 h on 22 May 1980; 300 counted on 1 Jun 1958.
===========
There is also a helpful summary of Blue Jay migration in Maine with interesting historical specifics in Birds of Maine (Vickery et al), p. 408, for anyone who wants to start their day by weight-lifting this amazing and hefty reference!

[Maine-birds] Brown Thrasher and Cormorant/Kokadjo-Frenchtown Twp

Brown Thrasher - New "yard bird" displaying its industrious nature alongside sparrows and juncos

Cormorant - New pond bird for me. A handful have been around for a week. One just hauled up on a dock and the resident Herring Gulls all moved aside. Looks like Florida over there.

A raft of eiders loafed for a day last week. Have to wonder if it's the same group that stopped by last fall. Chatty bunch.

Yellow bellied sapsuckers returned this week. The woods are coming alive with birdsong. Yesterday brought blue headed vireo, parula, ovenbird, chestnut sided, yellow rumped, kinglet, American redstart, and winter wren. I missed a couple due to biting bugs.

Feeders continue to be very busy. The siskins continue and the blue jays have returned……. A special shout out to Cornell's Feeder Watch citizen science project. I'm a life long feeder and bird watcher, but it really upped my game - plus giving me an extra something to do over the winter.

Happy birding.

Chris

Re: [Maine-birds] ID help on possible hybrid

Richard

I researched this after getting back from the Spurwink Marsh a few days ago when I initially catalogued a little blue heron, thinking it was a First Spring. Then I saw others were putting it in as a hybrid, and I looked into photos people had taken. From what I can see the little blue heron characteristics include the two-tone bill with size and shape more heron-like, the patchy, blue- gray calico color pattern, the slaty legs. The snowy egret features were the shaggy mane and chest seen in some photos, the 2 long plumes and the upright stance when not actively foraging. It also moved more slowly than the more active egret pattern.

Anyway, I'm sure others who know more than me well add one to these findings.
