Had a brief period (about 2 ½ hours) this morning when it was calm enough to open the nets. Big gusts of wind started again about 9:30. Scrounged up 1 Scrub Jay from the Nature Center nets to show to our last group of school children for the season who arrived about 10. Hoping for calmer weather this weekend to finish out the season! Total today of 9 new and 1 return:
Dusky Flycatcher 2 Western Scrub-Jay 1 (They are around a lot at the Nature Center feeders, but this is only the 2nd we’ve ever caught) House Wren 1 (Female with brood patch) Yellow Warbler 1 new, 1 return (Banded in 2006 as adult, making this male at least 9 years old) MacGillivray’s Warbler 1 Yellow-breasted Chat 2 Lincoln’s Sparrow 1 As mentioned above, this is our last weekend. We will start taking down the nets at whatever time on Sunday it gets too hot, too windy, or we run out of birds (so could easily be earlier than noon)!
