Hi Group,

Last August I filmed birds migrating
over the Blue Moon over Dana Point and posted a video of it on my
YouTube Channel. I was never happy with that 15+ minute video and have
replaced it with a 48 minute video of migrating birds over the Sept. 20th (and
days before and after) Harvest Moon. The new video has more examples, and
more information for people who want to moon watch for birds. Heres my
film notes and the video link. Enjoy Joel Weintraub Dana

Migrating Birds Across The Harvest Moon: Information,
Examples & Filming Protocols Sept.
2021
On the nights of September 17 th through 21st,
2021, a Harvest Moon time period, I
mounted a Nikon P1000 camera on a motor driven equatorial mount and recorded
sequences of migratory birds flying
over the moon's disk. My
location was an urbanized area of Dana Point, California, on the Pacific
flyway. A total of about 270 minutes of filming
was done, and 42 objects detected flying over the moons disk, or about 1 event
every 6.4 minutes. Most birds appeared smaller than the size of Tycho crater,
some just as moving dots until slow motion revealed wing flapping. Ten video sequences from the 42
events are shown both in real time
and at 300% zoom and 1/16 th reduced speed. One event was a satellite that was
clearly seen. Information
about bird migration, hints about what to expect including what to observe, equipment to use, and protocols of
filming are presented. A
graphical way of presenting the path bearings for 38 birds is shown, and most
were going southward as expected for fall migrating birds.
Note: I have removed a previous video watching moon birds during a Blue
Moon ((More Than) Once In A Blue Moon: Birds, Bats, & UFOs) from my
YouTube channel as the current video has much more information and examples.
