Report for Monday, 5/6:
Caught 40 birds, but 13 of them were "recaps" - most of them birds that we banded the day after the storm that were still sticking around. Here is the breakdown of the new captures: Western Wood-pewee 1 (FOS) House Wren 1 Hermit Thrush 2 American Robin 2 (FOS) Orange-crowned Warbler 6 Yellow-rumped Warbler, Myrtle 2 Yellow-rumped Warbler, Audubon 8 Yellow-rumped Warbler, hybrid 1 Spotted Towhee 1 return (banded 5/13/12) White-crowned Sparrow, Gambel's 2 Red-winged Blackbird 1 Today, Tuesday, 5/7: The day started cloudy, slightly breezy, threatening rain, but very birdy. Then, after perhaps a half hour, the sun came out, the wind died, and we don't know where the birds went! Banded only 15 birds. We did catch a Black and White Warbler, only the second one in the 9 years of this station. (Mackenzie, you were right - we caught one in 2010.) Here's the breakdown: Hermit Thrush 2 Yellow Warbler 2 Yellow-rumped Warbler, Audubon 1 Yellow-rumped Warbler, hybrid 1 Black and White Warbler 1 Common Yellowthroat 1 Spotted Towhee 1 White-crowned Sparrow, Gambel's 3 American Goldfinch 3 (FOS) Just a reminder: We will be closed This Friday and Saturday, 5/10-11. Then open daily through 6/2, weather permitting. (Waiting to see what this rain does...some chance weather may not permit opening tomorrow.)
