We were rained out yesterday; today started cool and breezy but ended with an early close because it was very windy and quite warm. Interesting weather and an interesting mix of species - we caught 3 species that are rare for the station - a lovely adult Sage Thrasher (4th in 17 years), a Red-naped Sapsucker (5th in 17) and a Townsend's Solitaire (10th in 17). Also had our first junco. Here's the breakdown of the 48 new birds (also had a slew of recaps):
