A very enjoyable day. The Swainson's Thrushes that we banded yesterday moved on or at least we did not capture any of them today. Eighteen species of birds captured which included only one White-throated Sparrow recapture. Maybe it is the bird that has been singing for us the last several days. Appears that an influx of Hermit Thrushes, MacGillivray's and Plumbeous Vireos arrived this morning from the capture and sounds around the banding station.
