Hi Cobirders We had another great day today. Most of yesterday's birds left and a new batch arrived, again Wilson's Warblers leading the way. Overall the day was not as birdy as 11 Sep but we certainly banded a wider variety of birds today (93 total new banded). The Star of the show had to be a leucistic Wilson's Warbler. It was very bright yellow all over with creamy colored wings and tail, quite a striking bird. The bird had pinkish bill and legs and lacked all olive, gray and black tones in the plumage. Hopefully the photogs that were out will post photos.
