Banding has been going steady for the previous two days. On Friday we had to close early due to heat and ended with 21 birds. Saturday was a bit cooler and cloudier, and it rained a little but not enough to close nets. It was also our public banding day, and with 30 birds, including a Yellow-breasted Chat, Western Tanager, and Red-naped Sapsucker we had plenty to show our visitors! As of Saturday we are up to 127 birds of 29 species.
