Another fairly mellow day today, with winds picking up in the late morning and shutting us down a bit early. We recaptured the Kentucky Warbler yet again, its still hanging around and not putting on much fat so far. The other highlight was a Ladder-backed Woodpecker (seen and heard often here but rarely caught) that was banded in 2019 as an older bird (hatched 2017 or earlier) making it at least 4 years old now. 19 birds total of 13 species:
House Wren - 1 Dusky Flycatcher - 2 Willow Flycatcher - 1 'Audubon's' Yellow-rumped Warbler - 1 Lincoln's Sparrow - 2 MacGillivray's Warbler - 1 Swainson's Thrush - 3 Brown-headed Cowbird - 1 Gray Catbird - 2 Bullocks Oriole - 1 new and 1 recap Kentucky Warbler - 1 recap Brown Thrasher - 1 recap Ladder-backed Woodpecker - 1 recap We are open 3 days per week (Friday - Sunday) through May 30th.
