With back-to-back-to-back-to-back school groups occupying much of our time today, we opened only part of the station. Still managed to capture and banded 40 new birds. Similar mix to yesterday, with a bunch of Chipping Sparrows thrown in. Here's the breakdown:
Hairy Woodpecker 1 Western Wood-pewee 1 Dusky Flycatcher 2 House Wren 1 Orange-crowned Warbler 1 Townsend's Warbler 1 Common Yellowthroat 1 Wilson's Warbler 26 Chipping Sparrow 6 We had only 2 recaps from the 64 WIWAs banded the day before, suggesting that most moved right on through. Open tomorrow (Friday), with no school group scheduled. Saturday is the Barr Fall Festival, with lots of people and lots of fun. Then open every day next week EXCEPT Wednesday (9/12).
