Hi Cobirders Wilson's Warblers (67 banded) filled the nets today with a good variety of other birds, 125 individuals of 23 species. So far this fall we have rarely recaptured a bird on a following day, today we caught a few that were still hanging around here. Cordilleran Flycatcher banded 9/13 weighed 11.5 grams, today he weighed 12.6g = 10% bodyweight gained was the champion weight gainer. Last fall 15 Sep markded the peak of Wilson's Warbler migration, we may have duplicated that again this year.
John Drummond found a Magnolia Warbler at Rose Pond.

The person also predicted the first arrival of Hermit Thrush correctly. Amazingly on that day HETH was the very first bird I got out of a net!
