A very slow morning for birds at Barr - We spent most of our time replacing nets destroyed by marauding Bambis (lost 5 this morning).
We did catch our first of the season (and likely only) Blue Jay, our 4th Cassin's Vireo, and a few others. Here's the breakdown: Cassin's Vireo 1 Blue Jay 1 Ruby-crowned Kinglet 1 Hermit Thrush 3 Orange-crowned Warbler 2 Yellow-rumped Warbler, Audubon's 1 Dark-eyed Junco, Oregon 2 First morning all season that we have not banded a Wilson's. WE ARE CLOSED TOMORROW, MONDAY. We are open 6 days each week, weather permitting, through October 16.We are closed every Monday in September, then October 4 and 12. We are opening nets at about 6:30 a.m. and we start closing between 11 a.m. and 12 noon. We will open later and/or close earlier if it is very hot, very cold, wet, windy, etc. There are school groups most weekday mornings, usually arriving around 9:30. Best times to visit, if you like lots of birds and fewer humans, are early mornings during the week and Sundays.
