Yesterday was a Wash for banding with the rain/thunderstorms and wind. Today, however very windy, had the birds down low which may have helped us capture more birds in the nets. Twenty-five bird species banded including these new species of the season: Blackpoll Warbler, Willow Flycatcher, Western Wood-pewee, Warbling Vireo, and Plumbeous Vireo. Swainson's Thrushes were popular around the banding station.
*109 New Birds* Wilson's Warbler- 3 Yellow Warbler- 8 Orange-crowned Warbler- 1 MacGillivray's Warbler- 3 Northern Waterthrush- 3 Ovenbird- 2 Blackpoll Warbler- 1 Common Yellowthroat- 1 Yellow-rumped Warbler (Audubon's subspecies)- 8 Yellow-rumped Warbler (Myrtle)- 3 Yellow-rumped Warbler intergrade- 3 (Myrtle/Audubon's) House Wren- 1 Warbling Vireo- 1 Plumbeous Vireo- 1 Western Wood-pewee-1 Dusky Flycatcher-1 Willow Flycatcher- 1 Least Flycatcher- 2 Brown-headed Cowbird- 1 Chipping Sparrow- 1 Green-tailed Towhee- 1 Lincoln's Sparrow- 4 Lazuli Bunting- 2 American Goldfinch- 9 Swainson's Thrush- 42 Yellow-breasted Chat- 2 Gray Catbird- 3 *4 Recaptures* Lincoln's Sparrow- 1 Common Yellowthroat -2 Northern Waterthrush - 1 * The Bullock's Oriole returning bird we captured on Wednesday was banded in 2021 as a Second-year bird (4 year old bird this year). The Lincoln's Sparrow recaptured today was caught twice- It gained 1.7 grams in 1.5 hours. Pretty good increase in mass for a bird. Plenty of moths and insects low to the ground due to the wind. The banding station will be open tomorrow sunrise to @11 am and Closed on Sunday. Enjoy the day!
