1 MIGRATION MONITORING AT PRINCE EDWARD POINT FALL 2013 by Stéphane Menu, Ph.D Grey Road #1 Georgian Bluffs Ontario, N0H 2T0 prepared for PRINCE EDWARD POINT BIRD OBSERVATORY November 2013

2 Executive Summary In this document are summarized the results of migration monitoring at Prince Edward Point in fall, Fall fieldwork began on August 18 and ended on October 31 for a total of 75 consecutive days of coverage. A total of 145 species were detected during the monitoring period. A total of 5,022 birds of 84 species were banded and 321 birds of 46 species were recaptured during diurnal banding, whereas a total of 212 Northern Saw-whet Owls, one Barred Owl, and one Eastern Screech Owl were banded during the owl banding from September 20 to October 31. The defining characteristic of Fall 2013 was a dry and warm end of summer and early fall, mainly from August to mid-october. Precipitation was limited both in extent and intensity, except for a few rainstorms at the end of October, usually accompanied by strong wind. This relatively fair weather allowed for a very good coverage, with about 80% of potential hours realized for normal daily banding and only 6 days without banding due to bad weather this fall. The special bobolink banding monitoring operated from August 18 to September 5, with no call broadcast from August 23 to 31 due to technical problem. Regardless, coverage was close to 100% in regard to net opening. On the contrary, owl banding was frequently hampered by strong wind and/or rain: 10 nights were completely lost to banding and a few others were cut short, for coverage of 66%. As usual, migration was in a boom and bust fashion, at least, as expressed by banding numbers: there were 37 days (out of 69 days with banding) with 5 (the lowest daily total) to 50 birds banded, whereas there were only 6 days with more than 200 birds banded (Fig.1 and Table 1; see Table 4 for the complete list of birds banded). The highest banding total was on October 15 with 306 birds. Only two species, Golden-crowned and Ruby-crowned Kinglets, represent 42% of the banding total. The 10 top species account for 71% of the banding total (Table 2). Most species were banded in relatively small numbers: 65 species have less than 50 individuals banded each (Table 3). Only 9 species have more than 100 birds banded each. On September 22, 50 species were detected during the 6 hours of migration monitoring, the highest diversity for the fall. No new species were added to the PEPtBO checklist this fall. Totals for fall 2013 were around average for birds captured in mist-nets and very low for ground traps (Fig. 2). Captures vary

3 greatly between years and weeks: in Fall, captures are relatively low from mid-august to late September and then increase rapidly to peak in mid-october (Fig. 3). This year, the pattern is no different, with the total of birds captured in mist nets for the week of October being the highest ever across all Fall seasons. The highlights of the fall were, among others, a Connecticut Warbler banded on September 1, a Northern Goshawk banded on October 9, two Yellow-billed Cuckoo banded on August 22 and September 27. A low of 212 Northern Saw-whet Owls were banded between September 20 and October 30. As in other bird observatories this fall, very few hatch-year birds were captured: 19 birds out of 212, that is, a little less than 10%. The most common age class was second-year birds, with 68% of all captures (Fig.4). Attracted by a broadcast of male call, most owls captured were, unsurprisingly, female: 170 birds, or 80%. Only 7.5% of birds captured were male, with the remaining 12.5% of unknown sex. In addition to Saw-whets, one Eastern Screech Owl and one Barred Owl were also captured and banded.
