A slow and somewhat strange morning at Barr: We opened in thick fog, the nets dripping with moisture. We caught one recap Wilson's at 7:10 a.m., and then did not catch (or even see or hear) another songbird until the sun finally broke throught about 9:30. By 11:30 it was warm and the birds were quiet again. Ended up with 14 new and 10 recaps of 10 species for our small school group and a variety of adult visitors who dropped by today. Here are the 14 new captures:
Dusky Flycatcher 1 Orange-crowned Warbler 1 Townsend's Warbler 2 Common Yellowthroat 1 Wilson's Warbler 6 Chipping Sparrow 2 Lincoln's Sparrow 1 Open 6 days a week, weather permitting. Next closed day is next Friday, 9/23.
