Banding today was steadily busy, even when I closed nets at 11:20. Today's totals were 79 birds banded of 18 species, which is the most birds banded and the most species in a day so far this season. I caught the season's first Dark-eyed Junco (Pink-sided) and White-crowned Sparrow (Mountain).
Here's the summary of newly banded birds for the day: Clay-colored Sparrow: 1 Ruby-crowned Kinglet: 2 Wilson's Warbler: 40 Orange-crowned Warbler: 10 Hammond's Flycatcher: 1 House Wren: 3 Chipping Sparrow: 6 Dusky Flycatcher: 1 Western Flycatcher: 1 Lincoln's Sparrow: 3 Pink-sided Junco: 1 Cassin's Vireo: 1 Hermit Thrush: 2 Blue Grosbeak: 1 Mountain White-crowned Sparrow: 1 Gray Catbird: 2 American Robin: 1 Brown Thrasher: 2 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 will be opening nets at 6:50 and banding until 11:50 weather permitting.
