After being closed of 4 days because of drizzly, cold weather, we've had 2 really good fall days. We banded 40 birds (31 of which were Yellow-rumped Warblers) on Wednesday, making it one of the best days of a very slow season. Total captured including recaps was 54. Today was slower but still pretty good; with 24 new birds.
Total new birds for the 2 days: Downy Woodpecker 2 Red-breasted Nuthatch 1 Brown Creeper 1 Wilson's Warbler 1 Myrtle Warbler 11 Audubon's Warbler 28 Chipping Sparrow 2 Song Sparrow 2 Gamble's White-crowned Sparrow 4 Oregon Junco 6 Pink-sided Junco 6 Just 2 more banding days this fall. We'd love for you to join us for our last day of the season on Saturday!
