Comments on: Migration over Jerze & Closing for Winter http://www.woodcreeper.com/2006/10/19/migration-over-jerze-closing-for-winter/ We're tracking bird migration over New Jersey using Doppler radar and a community of diehard birdwatchers Mon, 14 Nov 2011 19:58:07 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Grant Stevenson http://www.woodcreeper.com/2006/10/19/migration-over-jerze-closing-for-winter/comment-page-1/#comment-11960 Grant Stevenson Wed, 08 Nov 2006 21:21:02 +0000 http://www.woodcreeper.com/2006/10/19/migration-over-jerze-closing-for-winter/#comment-11960 Erratum: The above was posted yesterday. Today, 11-8-06, I wish to make a correction: all eastern flyway, ultralite Whooping Cranes have been in Florida, their winter home, for at least a week, from Wisconsin near the International Crane Foundation in Baraboo (www.savingcranes.org). For more information on the flight and the health of the flock, contact Joan Garland at jgarland@savingcranes.org. For questions about ICF's work saving cranes around the world, Gruidae, possibly the most at stake avian family, cranes@savingcranes.org. Thank you. Grant Erratum: The above was posted yesterday.

Hawks are still migrating, but the hawkwatch spots are cooold (www.hawkcount.org). The eastern migratory population of Whooping Cranes may not all made it to Florida (www.bringbackthecranes.org). But generally you are correct: the huge majority of winter birds are here. To do a Winter Bird Population Study, contact Jim Lowe of Cornell, 1-800-843-BIRD, jdl6@cornell.edu. Have a great winter and see you in the spring. Grant Hi Dave,

Our over wintering White-throated Sparrows returned last weekend so it is now officially Fall for us. Working on getting those feeders up now.... Good birding all, Wendy We had 2 Hermit Thrushes this morning foraging in our backyard area. Our over wintering White-throated Sparrows returned last weekend so it is now officially Fall for us.
