Things were pretty nice until the wind picked up at about 9:30. We did manage to capture 24 new birds. Highlight was an adult male Western Tanager. Here's the breakdown:
Ruby-crowned Kinglet 1 Hermit Thrush 4 Orange-crowned Warbler 5 Yellow-rumped Warbler, Audubon's 4 Common Yellowthroat 1 Wilson's Warbler 1 Western Tanager 1 Green-tailed Towhee 2 Song Sparrow 1 Lincoln's Sparrow 1 Dark-eyed Junco, Oregon 2 Dark-eyed Junco, Pink-sided 1 PLEASE NOTE the change in our schedule - we are now opening nets at 7:40 (an hour later) and should have birds back at the station by 8:20. We are open 6 days per week, Tuesday-Sunday, weather permitting, through October 13. We will close nets most days at 11:40, although we are closing earlier as needed due to the heat. 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!
