We got in a couple of good hours this morning before the rain wiped us out. Caught 24 new and returned birds, 17 species:
Least Flycatcher 1 House Wren 1 Swainson's Thrush 1 American Robin 1 (FOS) Gray Catbird 1, banded 2015 Yellow Warbler 3 MacGillivray's Warble 1 Common Yellowthroat 2 Yellow-breasted Chat 1 new, 1 banded 2015 Green-tailed Towhee 1 Clay-colored Sparrow 1 Song Sparrow 1, banded 2014 Lincoln's Sparrow 1 White-crowned Sparrow, Mountain 2 Red-winged Blackbird 2 Bullock's Oriole 2 (1 adult male, 1 second year male, in same net, which is also the net where we caught the pair yesterday) American Goldfinch 1 Open daily, weather permitting (good possibility we will be rained out tomorrow/Tuesday), through June 2, EXCEPT for May 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.
