We had two slower days this week at Roger's Grove Park, with warmer weather forcing an early close on Tuesday and a bit of a lull in migrant activity today. Highlights this week were our first empid, a Least Flycatcher, and a Northern Flicker that was mostly 'Red-shafted' but showed some intergrade traits including some red on the nape. Here are the daily totals:
Tuesday (5/14/2019) House Wren: 1 Common Yellowthroat: 1 Least Flycatcher: 1 Black-capped Chickadee: 1 'Myrtle' Yellow-rumped Warbler: 1 American Robin: 1 Thursday (5/16/2019) House Wren: 2 Black-capped Chickadee: 1 Yellow Warbler: 1 American Robin: 2 Northern Flicker intergrade: 1 The Roger's Grove Park banding station is open only on TUES and THURS during May, weather permitting. Next week we'll be opening nets around 6:00 and back at the station by 6:45. We'll close the nets by 11:00, though may have birds to band until 11:15. We often have visiting groups at about 9:00, though all are welcome throughout the morning. Come visit!
