Warbler & sparrow nocturnal flight call data - 2012

The data below indicate tentative species classifications of avian nocturnal flight calls detected during the indicated time periods.

BRSP = Brewer's Sparrow (& Clay-colored Sparrow); BUNT = Neotropical migrant buntings and/or Blue Grosbeak; DbUp = species complex of short double-banded upsweep callers (Nashville Warbler, Orange-crowned Warbler, Virginia's Warbler, Lucy's Warbler, Black-throated Gray Warbler, Townsend's Warbler, Hermit Warbler, and Golden-cheeked Warbler). White-crowned Sparrow and Vesper Sparrow are also included in this complex; MGWA = Magillivray's Warbler; WIWA = Wilson's Warbler; WTSP = White-throated Sparrow; YRWA = Yellow-rumped Warbler; ZEEP = species complex that includes Yellow Warbler.

Total = total of all warbler and sparrow flight calls detected by Tseep-r for the indicated time period. It includes both calls classified to species and calls not yet classified. Clicking the "total" link initiates downloading a zip file of all detected warbler and sparrow calls for that night, including ones too faint to classify. These files can be easily browsed with Old Bird's GlassOFire spectrogram viewer or with Cornell Lab of Ornithology's commercially available Raven software. The "other" folder within each zip file contains calls that have not yet been classified to species. A small "r" after the total indicates that rain occurred during the night and influenced the number and audio quality of the calls. A small "w" after the total indicates that strong winds occured during the night and influenced the number and audio quality of the calls.
