Slow, hot and weird morning. There was a Chickadee convention going on in the area around the front nets as we made our first run - we caught 8 (1 new, 6 banded earlier this year, 1 banded last year) and there were still many in the willows chickadee-ing. We also caught a Brown Creeper (an unusual capture for us) and a first-of-season Brewer's Sparrow and a few Warblers and we thought we were starting a nice, interesting day. But that was pretty much it for the morning........Only 9 new birds today:
Black-capped Chickadee 1 new, 1 banded last year House Wren 2 Common Yellowthroat 1 Wilson's Warbler 2 Brown Creeper 1 Brewer's Sparrow 1 Maybe we need to put some nets up near the teepee where Ira et al found the Bunting and Thrashers! Come visit! We are open 6 days per week (CLOSED Mondays), weather permitting, through October 15. We are opening nets at 6:30 and should have birds back at the station before 7:30. We will close most days by about 11:30, earlier now when it is so hot. School groups arrive most weekdays at about 9:30.
