A nice variety of birds today, as we move from warblers and into sparrows. My 2 favorites and rarities for the banding station - a Brown Creeper and a Blue Jay. Total banded was 22:
Blue Jay 1 Brown Creeper 1 House Wren 1 Ruby-crowned Kinglet 1 Hermit Thrush 2 Orange-crowned Warbler 5 Myrtle Warbler 1 Audubon's Warbler 1 Green-tailed Towhee 1 Song Sparrow 1 Gambel's White-crowned Sparrow 6 Pink-sided Junco 1 Yesterday, an otherwise so-so day, we caught an awesome Northern Flicker Intergrade. Bright yellow shaft and tail, but head and throat characteristics of a Red-shafted. We are closed Wednesday, 9/30 and likely the following 2 Wednesdays. Otherwise, open every day. Our last day of the season will be Saturday, 10/17.
