Hi all! We had our banding program at Ritter in Lakeville today and spent most of it fighting some really irritating winds. We didn't have many birds in the nets but we had a ton of FOY stuff flying about. Here are the notables;
Yellow-rumped Warbler - tons of em Palm Warbler Nashville Warbler Northern Waterthrush Black and White Warbler Yellow Warbler Rose-breasted Grosbeak Least Flycatcher (probable) House Wren Clay-colored Sparrow Swamp Sparrow Barn Swallow Eastern Towhee Ruby-crowned Kinglets - good numbers and two in the nets! Most of the warblers were feeding on floating vegetation near the shore of the little lake/pond. It was interesting to see the butter-butts belly deep in the water. Not a great day for banding but an awesome day for birding! -- *Thanks, Nicholas R Tangen (651) 808-7067 nicholastan...@gmail.com "In wildness is the preservation of the world." - Henry David Thoreau* ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
