Teslin Lake update - September 10

Moulting juvenile Townsend's Solitaire is a funny looking bird!

The period from September 6^th to 10^th was very quiet at the nets but luckily towards the end of the period there was some action in the sky. The weather was mostly cold and windy and on some days we were barely able to operate any of the nets. There was some fresh snow up on the mountains on the morning of the 8^th. We only banded 52 birds (0.153 birds/net hr) for a season total of 1803 birds (0.328 birds/net hr) of 45 species. Ten Dark-eyed Juncos and 8 Yellow-rumped Warblers accounted for a third of the catch. The current season top five is Alder Flycatcher 826, Yellow Warbler 178, Yellow-rumped Warbler 126, Blackpoll Warbler 84, and Wilson’s Warbler 83. Three new species for the season were banded on the 8^th: Hermit Thrush, American Tree Sparrow and Townsend’s Solitaire which was only the third of its kind to be banded at TLBO! Another somewhat exciting bird banded was a Common Redpoll on the 7^th, the first one since thefew local-looking juveniles early in the season.

 

The season 1st Hermit Thrush

In light southeast wind on the 7^th the first small flocks of migrating Canada Geese were seen together with the first modest flight of large thrushes - the 330 seen were quite evenly divided between American Robin and Varied Thrush. Small number of raptors and 73 American Pipits were also seen flying by that day. Parasitic Jaegers were seen daily during the period, and many times a day, but it was very difficult to get any idea of how many birds were involved as they were all full light-morph adults, some with and others without a breast-band. Four were seen together on the 8^th. For us interior folks it was a treat to get to watch them so often and from perfect scoping distance. On a few occasions we even got to see them chase and rob gulls! Another treat were the few Thayer’s Gulls that opted to spend some time on the foreshore providing us with great close-up views instead of the usual semi-distant flocks-in-migration-flight views. The 9^th was a fairly busy migration day with bigger birds as 2800 geese and 75 raptors were tallied. About 2000 of the geese were identified as White-fronted Geese. While it was exciting to see 3 Peregrine Falcons the show of the day was provided by the season 1^st Golden Eagle. As we were checking a flock of five geese for their identity, they suddenly started to bank heavily to one side and then went into a total disarray as the eagle was stooping towards them from the heights. Soon one of the geese was in vertical downward spiral the eagle in hot pursuit and just as the goose seemed doomed it was able to pull off a couple of nifty zig-zags and loose the eagle! On the 10^th, the hard wind blowing from northwest brought so far the best raptor flight of the season. The most numerous ones of the just over 300 seen were Sharp-shinned Hawk (109), Northern Harrier (85) and Red-tailed Hawk (64). Also seen were 2 Swainson’s Hawks and 5 Peregrines. 13 Merlins was a new observatory day record. Also seen were the season first 5 Tundra Swans. On the 10^th we also said good bye to Shyloh van Delft, our latest long term volunteer, who promised to be back in October. We are eagerly waiting for her return...

Teslin Lake update - September 5

young male Cape May Warbler - the 2nd record for TLBO

If the last period of August was an exciting one the first period of September was anything but. The weather was mostly cold and windy, the winds primarily from south and west, and nothing much happened bird wise. It seems that the strong northwesterlies of the previous period carried most of the last of the early migrants out of the Territory. There was a little more visible passerine migration but that was it. The banding totals and birds/net hr went down significantly as we only banded 120 birds (0.183 birds/net hr) for a season total of 1751 birds (0.341 birds/net hr) of 42 species. The period top six was Yellow-rumped Warbler 40, Boreal Chickadee 14, Dark-eyed Junco 9, Alder Flycatcher, Ruby-crowned Kinglet and Orange-crowned Warbler each 7. The current season top five is Alder Flycatcher 824, Yellow Warbler 177, Yellow-rumped Warbler 118, Blackpoll Warbler 84, and Wilson’s Warbler 79. One very exciting bird was caught and banded and that was the TLBO’s second ever Cape May Warbler, a young male, on the 2^nd.

 As I already mentioned in the intro, the observations this period didn’t amount to very much. American Robin, Varied Thrush, American Pipit and Yellow-rumped Warbler became a common sight on the morning sky and the same was the case with Red-throated Loon on the lake. The first Lapland Longspurs were seen on the 2^nd. Small numbers of Parasitic Jaegers, Three-toed Woodpeckers,  Townsend’s Solitaires and Rusty Blackbirds were seen daily while both Boreal Chickadee and Red-breasted Nuthatch continued their movement. The highlights of visual migration counts were 43 Thayer’s Gulls on the 3^rd and 13 American Kestrels on the 5^th.

Teslin Lake update - August 31

Alder Flycatcher #812!

 

First we want to apologize for the lateness of this blog entry. We’ve been having some trouble with our internet connection.

The period of August 26^th to 31^st was a very exciting one. Lot of things happened but we also had a lot of bad weather, mostly high winds and some rain, that forced us to scale down our banding effort. However, that same bad weather made birds move and we got to see some nice flights of different species. A couple of rare birds, a Pacific-slope Flycatcher from the nets and a Black Turnstone observed along the beach (see the previous post for photos), added to the excitement. A total of 192 birds (0.312 birds/net hr) were banded and that brought the season total to 1631 birds (0.363 birds/net hr) banded of 41 species. The most anticipated event and one of the biggest highlights of the period happened on the 30^th when the season 812^th Alder Flycatcher was banded breaking the old record! Another significant even took place that very same morning – it was the first frost morning of the season!! The period top five was Alder Flycatcher 54, Yellow Warbler 34, Yellow-rumped Warbler 15, Black-capped Chickadee 12 and Common Yellowthroat 9 while the current season top five is Alder Flycatcher 817, Yellow Warbler 174, Blackpoll Warbler 81, Yellow-rumped Warbler 78 and Wilson’s Warbler 74. Besides the ah-so-exciting Pacific-slope Flycatcher, three new species for the season were caught: MacGillivray’s Warbler on the 26^th, and Gray-cheeked Thrush and Rusty Blackbird  both on the 30^th. MacGillivray’s is an uncommon nesting bird in Teslin area in large aspen stands with thick understory. Normally we band an average of two per season but last year we didn’t catch any. Gray-cheek captures average just a handful a year so both were quite exciting birds for us.

The morning of the 26^th started cloudy with strong northwesterly wind and flocks of Greater White-fronted Geese were heading south as we arrived to the site. The movement lasted strong for about three hours in which time we tallied about 4000 of them. The following day the wind was still strong but had shifted to south/south-east with the result that not much happened with migration. The absolute highlight of the day was the Yukon’s third ever Black Turnstone touching down briefly at the creek mouth. A juvenile Sanderling spent most of the day in the same area while seven Townsend’s Solitaires was a record day count for TLBO. On the 28^th the northwest wind was back on blowing at times 40km/h. This time the early morning hours were quiet but soon after 10 am the White-fronts started moving and by 3 pm we had counted 6200 geese and as a surprise 89 Sandhill Cranes. Also on the move were a few raptors, including 14 Northern Harriers, 16 Sharp-shinned Hawks, a Swainson’s Hawk and a Peregrine Falcon. On the 29^th the northwest wind was even stronger and even our most protected nets were impossible to operate so once again we turned our eyes to the sky and this time it was the season’s first decent flight of raptors that kept us entertained. Some of the highlights included 102 Red-tailed Hawks, 17 Northern Harriers, 3 Swainson’s Hawks, a Peregrine and an early Gyrfalcon. Another 120 Sandhill Cranes passed by too. The highlights of the 30^th were two fly-by season firsts, a Northern Hawk Owl and an American Three-toed Woodpecker. Not much happened on the 31^st.

Teslin Lake - rarity update August 27

For each of the last two days we’ve been treated with a rare bird. First on the 26^th we netted and banded a hatch-year Pacific-slope Flycatcher and then early morning of the 27^th (today) a juvenile Black Turnstone landed briefly at the gravel bar at the creek mouth. Both are about 3^rd/4^th records for the Yukon! Here are a few photos of our star visitors.

Teslin Lake update - August 25

Aaahhh, Foxy Sparrow!

The period of August 21^st to 25^th was very similar over all to the previous period. The weather was unsettled and we are still waiting for the warbler movement usually taking place around this time of the year. Banding was a bit slower with a total of 225 birds (0.389 birds/net hr) banded. The period top six was Alder Flycatcher 98, Yellow Warbler 25, Wilson’s Warbler 20, Yellow-rumped Warbler 18 and Blackpoll Warbler and Swainson’s Thrush both 10. This brought the season total to 1439 birds (0.361 birds/net hr) banded of 39 species. The current season top five is Alder Flycatcher 763, Yellow Warbler 140, Blackpoll Warbler 76, Wilson’s Warbler 67, and Yellow-rumped Warbler 63. Some of the sparrows were starting to appear more often while Northern Waterthrushes have been caught less often. Two new species for the season were caught: Fox Sparrow on the 23^rd and Western Wood-Pewee 25th.

One of the most interesting developments of the last five days was an apparent start of a Red-breasted Nuthatch invasion or flight.  One or two had been noticed almost daily earlier but on the 21^st 6 were seen and on the 25^th a flock of three was spotted in active migration flight. At the same time we’ve had more Boreal Chickadees showing up, including 5 banded on the 24^th. Maybe they’ll have another good fall movement as well. Other irregular “invasion” migrants seen included a few Common Redpolls, some small flocks of Pine Siskins and a good number of White-winged Crossbills (94 on the 25^th). With the help of some north winds Greater White-fronted Geese passed over in moderate numbers on the 22^nd and the 23^rd (800 and 500, respectively) but only a few small flocks were seen after that and we were left waiting for the main flight. Otherwise it has been quite quiet with obs – just a few hawks heading south once in a while, the season 1^st Wilson’s Snipe flushed up from the grass by the pond on the 21^st and the season 2^nd Parasitic Jaeger chasing the gulls on the lake on the 24^th.

Teslin Lake update - August 20

Always a crowd pleaser - an adult male American Redstart (also known as Halloween bird)

During the period of August 16^th to 20^th, the weather was somewhat unsettled but mostly nice. The morning of the 19^th with start temperature of +2 was the coolest one of the fall so far.  The Alder Flycatcher movement slowed down and as there was no real push from warblers yet the daily banding totals went down significantly. A total of 284 birds (0.437 birds/net hr) were banded. The period top five was Alder Flycatcher 152, Yellow Warbler 30, Wilson’s Warbler 20, Yellow-rumped Warbler 19 and Blackpoll Warbler 17. This brought the season total to 1214 birds (0.357 birds/net hr) banded of 37 species. The current season top five is Alder Flycatcher 665, Yellow Warbler 115, Blackpoll Warbler 66, Dark-eyed Junco 52 and Wilson’s Warbler 47. The only new species for the season was Townsend’s Warbler on the 17th. Other banding highlights included two Least and one Dusky Flycatcher among all the Alders and yet another Belted Kingfisher.

The period was rather quiet outside the nets and real highlights were hard to come by. There was increasing bird activity on the lake and some of the higher counts included 26 Common Loons on the 18^th and possibly a station record 103 Red-necked Grebes on the 20^th, 52 fly-by Surf Scoters and 20 adult Thayer’s Gulls on the 19^th. An adult Glaucous Gull was another somewhat unexpected arctic bird far south this early on the 18^th. On the 20^th the season first American Pipits and Say’s Phoebe were seen as well as the season 2^nd Peregrine Falcon.

Teslin Lake update - August 15

Alder Flycatcher

During the period of August 11^th to 15^th, the weather was mostly simply wonderful. A few mornings were a tad on the cool side (+3) but we had almost no wind and lots of sun. It was a real treat to be banding birds under those conditions and there was plenty to band! Each day, except for the 15^th, we banded over 100 birds with a high tally of 156 on the 11^th. A total of 565 birds (0.838 birds/net hr) were banded and a vast majority (410) of them were Alder Flycatchers including 120 on the 11^th! Yellow Warbler (51), Northern Waterthrush (18), Blackpoll and Wilson’s Warbler (17 of each) rounded up the top five for the period. This brought the season total to 930 birds (0.337 birds/net hr) banded of 36 species. The current season top five is Alder Flycatcher 513 (astonishing 55% of the current season catch!!), Yellow Warbler 85, Dark-eyed Junco 51, Blackpoll Warbler 49 and Northern Waterthrush 35. New species for the season this period were Varied Thrush on the 11^th, Least Flycatcher on the 12^th, White-crowned Sparrow on the 14^th and Magnolia Warbler on the 15th. The banding highlights were three Yellow-bellied Flycatchers and two Red-breasted Nuthatches on the 12^th, and of course the hatch-year Magnolia Warbler, which is only the second record for Teslin area, on the 15^th.



Young Magnolia Warbler - our rarity of the week!

As the Alder Flycatcher movement was so strong there wasn’t much time for other migration monitoring besides banding. A few flocks of Greater White-fronted Geese were seen including one of 178 birds. There was also a good number of White-winged Crossbills on the move with a high count of 90 on the 12^th. Most of the raptor sightings consisted of local Bald Eagles and Red-tailed Hawks. A Merlin was seen patrolling the shoreline for passerines and Spotted Sandpipers and the male of the “Ten Mile Creek Valley” Northern Goshawk pair appeared above the trees on a couple of occasions. The season 1^st Peregrine Falcon sat atop of the highest rock of the gull island for a couple of hours on the 12^th causing havoc among the gulls and excitement among the TLBO staff. All the regular Loon and Grebe species were seen with increasing frequency and numbers although the numbers were still rather low. Arctic Terns and Bonaparte’s Gulls have all but gone while juvenile Mew and Herring Gulls are frequenting the recently emerged sandbar by the creek mouth. The same area has also attracted a few Semipalmated Plovers and Least Sandpipers while Solitary Sandpipers have preferred the pond. Other season 1^st‘s included a White-winged Scoter on the 12^th and a Townsend’s Solitaire on the 13^th.
