We finished off our second week with a relatively quiet day. After a really busy week, it was nice to have a little more time with each bird. We caught our 3rd and 4th Ovenbirds. All hatch year birds. We've only caught 4 in a season once before, in 2002. Also enjoyed our first Brown Thrasher. Here's the breakdown of the 29 new birds:
Brown Thrasher 1 Orange-crowned Warbler 4 Yellow Warbler 1 Ovenbird 2 Wilson's Warbler 19 Song Sparrow 1 Lincoln's Sparrow 1 Tomorrow is Monday, so we will be closed. We will be back bright and early on Tuesday, weather permitting. We are opening nets at 6:30 and should have birds back at the station by 7:15. We will close most days by about 11:30. School groups arrive most weekdays at about 9:30. The best time to visit (fewest people, most birds) is before 9:30 weekdays and Sundays.
