The Wilson's Warblers are increasing in numbers.Fourteen bird species were banded today. We recaptured a Yellow-breasted Chat that we banded last Tuesday (7 days) and it gained close to 10% of its body weight. The bird is fattening up to migrate to its wintering grounds in coastal Mexico or Central American countries. Species of note were the Ladder-backed Woodpecker, Green-tailed Towhee, and Common Yellowthroat.
