Day started cold, gray and periodically windy. The weather conditions plus a Cooper's Hawk in the vicinity made things really quiet until about 10 a.m., when the sun broke through and warblers came out. Had our first mini-flock of Yellow-rumpeds, plus continued Wilson's. Not a bad day, with 34 new birds banded:
Black-capped Chickadee 1 Red-breasted Nuthatch 2 Swainson's Thrush 3 Gray Catbird 1 Orange-crowned Warbler 1 Audubon's Warbler 6 MacGillivray's Warbler 1 Wilson's Warbler 10 Green-tailed Towhee 1 Chipping Sparrow 4 Gambel's White-crowned Sparrow 4 Again, our schedule for the balance of the banding season: Open 6 days a week through Sunday, October 14, weather permitting. Our closed days will be Wed 9/19, Wed 9/26, Thurs 10/4, and Wed 10/10.
