We had a weekend with over 100 visitors and few birds (single digits both days
if we don't count the Nature Center feeder birds). Total for Saturday and
Sunday (combined):
House Wren 6
American Robin 1 return (Banded 2010)
Yellow Warbler 1 return (Male, banded 2005, recaught 07, 08, 09, 10. Had to be
at least 1 when he was banded, so we've got a bird that is at least 7 years old
here.)
Common Yellowthroat 1
Wilson's Warbler 1
Lincoln's Sparrow 1
Gambel's White Crowned Sparrow 2
Mountain White Crowned Sparrow 1
Red-winged Blackbird 7
Brown-headed Cowbird 1
House Finch 1
American Goldfinch 1
Then, today, under cloudy skies and cooler weather, we had our best day so far,
capturing 25 birds, 13 species before the wind picked up and forced us to
close. A great day to be a kid in the school group that visited!
Downy Woodpecker 1
Black-capped Chickadee 1
House Wren 6
Ruby-crowned Kinglet (FOS) 1
Hermit Thrush 1
Orange-crowned Warbler 3

was in the net right next to the 7 year old mentioned above - and recaught but
not recounted here)
