After our interesting, relatively busy (for this season) Sunday, I hoped the sunshine today would lead to a good day. But NO, absolutely dead. Caught only 5 birds in the banding station nets (unless you count the Brown Thrasher x 3, since it managed to get caught 3 times during the course of the morning). Didn't even recapture birds banded in earlier days. Supplemented these 5 with birds from the feeder nets so we had something to show the groups of kids:
House Wren 1 Gray Catbird 1 Brown Thrasher 1 (FOS, and only the 2nd at the station) Green-tailed Towhee 1 Red-winged Blackbird 5 Brown-headed Cowbird 5 (there seem to be LOTS of Cowbirds around!) Open Tues & Wed, then closed Thurs-Sat, then open daily, weather permitting, through June 3.
