Finally a mostly dry and not too cold day! 45 new birds, including our second hawk of the season, this one a female Sharp-shinned. White-crowned Sparrows and Ruby-crowned Kinglets dominated the morning, which seems like a strange combination. Here's the breakdown:
Sharp-shinned Hawk 1 White-breasted Nuthatch 1 House Wren 1 Ruby-crowned Kinglet 8 Hermit Thrush 4 Orange-crowned Warbler 4 Yellow-rumped Warbler, Audubon's 5 Wilson's Warbler 2 Spotted Towhee 1 Green-tailed Towhee 1 Chipping Sparrow 2 Song Sparrow 2 Lincoln's Sparrow 1 White-throated Sparrow 1 White-crowned Sparrow, Gambel's 11 We are open 6 days per week, Tuesday-Sunday, weather permitting, through October 14. We are opening nets at 7:00 and should have birds back at the station by about 7:30. 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. Come visit!
