Hi COBirders, Now that's more like it! Weather changed finally, and lots of migrants dropped in last night especially Lincoln's Sparrow and Swainson's Thrush. 48 new birds banded today (after 10 yesterday). Most activity early, then dropped off fast with the high winds about 9:00. We expect good things tomorrow (or are at least hoping for them!).
