I got a little behind posting the banding reports. Last week we were still banding the same numbers as before (10-15 banded), but this week with the drop in temperature and increase in wind has led to a drop in numbers.
On 10/8, we banded 11, recaptured 4, and caught one Gambel's White-crowned Sparrow from a previous year; on 10/9 we banded 11 and recaptured 2; on 10/10 we banded 16 and recaptured 5; on 10/13 we banded 7 and recaptured 1; and today (10/14) we banded 4 and recaptured 4. Breakdown of new captures, 10/8: Western Scrub-Jay -1 Mountain Chickadee - 3 Spotted Towhee - 1 Song Sparrow - 1 Gambel's White-crowned Sparrow - 5 Breakdown of new captures, 10/9: Ruby-crowned Kinglet - 2 Song Sparrow - 1 Gambel's White-crowned Sparrow - 8 Breakdown of new captures, 10/10: Black-capped Chickadee - 1 Orange-crowned Warbler - 2 Spotted Towhee - 2 Gambel's White-crowned Sparrow - 11 Breakdown of new captures, 10/13: Black-capped Chickadee - 1 Ruby-crowned Kinglet - 4 Oregon Junco - 2 Breakdown of new captures, 10/14: Hermit Thrush - 1 Song Sparrow - 1 Gambel's White-crowned Sparrow - 2 We also captured and released unprocessed a hatch-year Black-chinned Hummingbird and 2 Gambel's Quail during this period.
