Today we battled wind and a bit of rain, closing and re-opening nets a few times. While our numbers were still low, one thing was clear: the Swainson's Thrushes had really moved in overnight. We went from seeing 1 or 2 the past few days to seeing at least 50 in the immediate area today. 13 banded birds of 4 species today,
Pine Siskin - 1 Northern Waterthrush - 1 'Audubon's' Yellow-rumped Warbler - 1 Swainson's Thrush - 10 We are open 3 days per week (Friday - Sunday) through May 30th.
