The wind was a problem today - we only opened the outer, most sheltered nets, and then only until about 10 a.m., when the wind really started gusting. Nevertheless, had some fun birds, including our likely only-of-season White-throated Sparrow, a Cassin's Vireo and a Flicker Integrade (orange-red shaft, red malar and most other criteria leaning toward red-shafted, but he had a strong red nuchal patch and crown mixed gray and brown) to share with Norm Lewis' group from the Museum of Nature & Science.
Here's the breakdown for the day: Flicker Integrade 1 Cassin's Vireo 1 Ruby-crowned Kinglet 1 Yellow-rumped Warbler (Audubon's) 1 Chipping Sparrow 7 White-throated Sparrow 1 (FOS) White-crowned Sparrow (Gambel's) 1 American Goldfinch 1 Closed tomorrow (Fri, 10/7). Hope to be open this weekend..weather permitting!! Then, open daily next week except closed Wed, 10/12.
