Greetings birders sorry I forgot to put our location in my last posting. The Hilliardton marsh BWREC is located about 15 minutes from the town of NewLiskeard which is about 2 hours north of North Bay. We monitor the migration by mist netting and banding birds. Today we had a significant movement of Tennessee warblers. This spring we captured 7 and today we captured 7 in one net check and managed to band 12 in the day. Anyone wishing more information about our operation is encouraged to contact me and I can supply you with a more detailed list of the species we are capturing which may shed some light on when these migrants may arrive in greater numbers in the south. Perhaps of interest we only banded 1 American redstart today which were far more numerous a couple of weeks ago.
