Hi COBirders,
We have yet to begin experiencing real migration - only a few birds each day this week: 4/29 - 4 birds (2 new Black-capped Chickadees, plus one banded 4/30/1, and 1 Hermit Thrush) 4/30 - 8 birds (2 House Wrens, 1 Common Yellowthroat, 1 Spotted Towhee, 1 Redwing Blackbird, 1 Brown-headed Cowbird, 2 House Finches) 5/1 - 2 birds (1 House Wren, 1 Yellow Warbler. The Yellow is FOS, about 4-5 days earlier than usual.) 5/2 - 11 birds (2 House Wrens, 1 Robin, 2 new Redwing Blackbirds and 1 banded 4/30/11, 1 Brown-headed Cowbird, 3 new House Finches and 1 banded 5/11/09) (The RWBLs and HOFIs were caught at the feeder nets at the Nature Center.) Hoping migration starts soon..last year migrant numbers started to go up on 5/1, so it is time!
