3rd Week of April 2019 – Beaver River, Yarmouth County, Nova Scotia

High winds and rain every night except the night of 17-18 April suppressed nocturnal migration. On that one evening of favourable weather, there was a small influx of Yellow-rumped Warblers, Savannah Sparrows, White-throated Sparrows, and Dark-eyed Juncos. Only a couple of Savannah

As is usually the case in southwest Nova Scotia during the spring, nocturnal migration is light during the month of April. Migrant passerines are typically detected late in the night, indicating that birds are arriving directly to their breeding territories. Passerines going
