With Yellow Warblers and Catbirds in double digits for the first day, there is
finally some hope that our summer residents will come in reasonable numbers.
Yellows and House Wrens so far are well below the numbers we've had in the last
couple of years. Had another good day for late May banding, with 39 banded, 3
returns:
Western Wood-pewee 1
Least Flycatcher 1
Dusky Flycatcher 2
House Wren 1
Swainson's Thrush 5
Hermit Thrush 1
Gray Catbird 9 new, 2 returns (1 banded 2008, 1 in 2010)
Yellow Warbler 9 new, 1 return (banded 2010)
American Redstart (FOS) 1
Common Yellowthroat 4
Green-tailed Towhee 1
Lincoln's Sparrow 3
Mountain White-crowned Sparrow 1
Open through Memorial Day, weather permitting.
