Another busy day, with 70 birds banded. The Wilson's Warblers are back and have replaced Yellows and House Wrens as the primary species. The most interesting bird was a Veery, our second of the season and the first since 2006. Here's the breakdown:
Downy Woodpecker 1 Western Wood-pewee 5 House Wren 3 Veery 1 Yellow Warbler 3 Townsend's Warbler 3 MacGillivray's Warbler 2 Wilson's Warbler 46 Chipping Sparrow 4 Clay-colored Sparrow 1 Song Sparrow 1 The weekend promises to be a HOT one, but the early mornings (say, from 7 to 9!) are very nice and the birds are active. So, come, but come early...we are likely to start closing nets by 10 or so. Open all 3 days of this Labor Day weekend. Our closed days for the next 2 weeks are Tuesday, 9/4, and then Wednesday, 9/12.
