Today I closed nets early due to the heat, but I still banded 50 birds of 11 species. I finally caught the season's first two Lazuli Buntings, which have been hanging around the station for a while. On my way out I spotted a lone Pink-sided Junco, so hopefully I'll catch some juncos soon.
Here is the summary of newly banded birds for the day: Yellow Warbler: 2 Wilson's Warbler: 27 Ruby-crowned Kinglet: 1 Hammond's Flycatcher: 2 House Wren: 3 Orange-crowned Warbler: 7 Chipping Sparrow: 1 Lazuli Bunting: 2 Lincoln's Sparrow: 3 Green-tailed Towhee: 1 American Robin: 1 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.
