Today was a steady day at the GVAS station, with 10 new birds and 4 recaptures (including two that were banded in a previous year) of 5 species. This includes a new species for the season, a Pink-sided Junco. Numbers have been holding pretty steady for the last few days, though I hope it will pick up soon.
Blue-gray Gnatcatcher 1 Bewick's Wren 1 Dark-eyed Junco (Pink-sided) 1 (FOS) White-crowned Sparrow (Gambel's) 6 (plus two repeats banded yesterday and one return from a different season) Spotted Towhee 1 (plus one return from a previous season) Public banding day is on Saturday the 28th from 7:30 to 11:00 - don't miss it! The earlier you arrive, the more likely you are to see a bird! Anyone is also welcome to visit the banding station at Connected Lakes State Park any weekday from 7:30 to 11ish, but try to arrive before 9:30 or so (the school groups get here at 9:30). Hope to see you there!
