A beautiful day, but few birds for our final day of banding this spring. Banded just 12 birds:
Swainson's Thrush 1 Gray Catbird 1 Yellow Warbler 3 Common Yellowthroat 2 Yellow-breasted Chat 1 Western Tanager 1 Spotted Towhee 1 Lincoln's Sparrow 1 American Goldfinch 1 We started the season with a Black-capped Chickadee and ended with a Yellow Warbler - pretty fitting for this station. We caught 713 individual birds - 654 new and 59 that were banded here in prior years - above our average. Many more Yellow-rumped Warblers than usual, but fewer Yellows; lots of Western Wood-pewees but very few Empids. More details when I get data recorded in a few weeks!
