Had about 4 nice hours this morning - sunny, no wind - before the heat set in and we began closing about 10:45. Banded 21 new and caught 4 Yellows banded in prior seasons. The star of the morning was a Yellow-billed Cuckoo. Here's the breakdown:
Yellow-billed Cuckoo 1 Least Flycatcher 2 Gray Catbird 3 Yellow Warbler 7 new, 4 returns (2 banded in 2012, 1 in 2011, and 1 in 2007) MacGillivray's Warbler 2 Yellow-breasted Chat 2 Lincoln's Sparrow 1 Lazuli Bunting 1 Red-winged Blackbird 1 American Goldfinch 1 Open daily, weather permitting, through June 2. (Usually have our first birds back at the banding station by 7:30, will likely start closing between 10:30-11 because of the heat.)
