Today was the busiest day of the season yet, mostly due to Wilson's Warblers. I banded 55 new birds of 14 species. Four new species were added to the season's total today: Blue Grosbeak, Western Tanager, Red-naped Sapsucker, and Black-headed Grosbeak.
Here is the summary of newly banded birds for the day: Ruby-crowned Kinglet: 1 Wilson's Warbler: 31 House Wren: 1 Orange-crowned Warbler: 3 Chipping Sparrow: 2 Lincoln's Sparrow: 3 Blue Grosbeak: 2 Western Tanager: 2 Swainson's Thrush: 1 Hermit Thrush: 1 Red-naped Sapsucker: 1 Black-headed Grosbeak: 1 Northern Mockingbird: 2 American Robin: 4 You are welcome to visit the banding station. I'll be banding through the first week of October and nets will be open 6 days a week (Monday through Saturday). This week I am opening nets at 6:40 and banding until 11:40 weather permitting.
