It's been a wet week at Deep Portage, and the birding still seems slow. 3 Gray Catbirds, 2 Redstarts (one a recapture from last May) a Wilson's Warbler and an Ovenbird were all the banding station could muster today. Birds from the last day or two:
Green Heron Sora (Pine River) Virginia Rail (Pine River) Wilson's Phalarope (Longville and Walker) Least Sandpiper Dowitcher spp. Olive-sided Flycatcher Great Crested Flycatcher Yellow-throated Vireo (many) Good numbers of Wilson's Warblers and American Redstarts, but still waiting on several species of warbler and sparrow. Good luck to all the big days going out this weekend. Ben Wieland Deep Portage Learning Center Care2 make the world greener! http://www.Care2.com Free e-mail. 100MB storage. Helps charities.
