Fewer Yellow-rumped Warblers in the nets, but they continue to be around in large numbers. Just feeding higher in the trees and in areas down by the big pond where there is no space for nets. A relatively quiet day, we banding 19 plus caught one banded in a prior year:
Downy Woodpecker 1 Black-capped Chickadee 2 House Wren 3 Swainson's Thrush 2 Yellow-rumped Warbler, Myrtle 5 Yellow-rumped Warbler, Intergrade 1 Spotted Towhee 1, banded in 2014 Song Sparrow 2 Lincoln's Sparrow 1 White-crowned Sparrow, Gambel's 1 Red-winged Blackbird 1 Open daily, weather permitting, through June 2, EXCEPT for May 13, 14, and 30. It is almost always better to visit early in the morning. We are opening nets at 6:30, and most days will have birds back at the station by 7:15. There are school groups every weekday, arriving about 9:45. We aim to close by noon most days, earlier if it is very hot, very cold, or very windy.
