There was a hint of fall briskness in the air this morning, but a persistent south breeze kept the birds hunkered down and forced some of our most productive nets to close early. That made for a markedly slower day than yesterday's business, with 18 banded birds, 2 recaptures, and 11 total species. A *Vesper's Sparrow *was the day's most unique capture.
The summary: Wilson's Warbler 3 + 1 recapture Ruby-crowned Kinglet 3 Orange-crowned Warbler 1 Dark-eyed Junco, Pink-sided 3 Lincoln's Sparrow 1 Hermit Thrush 3 Song Sparrow 1 Vesper Sparrow 1 White-crowned Sparrow, Gambel's 1 Brown Thrasher 1 Spotted Towhee 1 recapture We are open 6 days a week, closed on Sundays. This week we're opening nets at 6:50 AM and closing at 11:50 AM, weather permitting. Come visit!
