Activity continues to be slow, but it seemed to work out about perfectly for the Sunday visitor groups - e.g. a different warbler on each run; folks got great looks and life history on Orange-Crowned, Yellow, Wilson's, then Common Yellowthroat. Thanks to everyone who visited for making it a fun Sunday morning! Here's the breakdown of the 17 new birds:
Downy Woodpecker 1 Warbling Vireo 1 Black-capped Chickadee 3 House Wren 2 Orange-crowned Warbler 1 Yellow Warbler 3 Common Yellowthroat 1 WIlson's Warbler 3 Common Grackle 2 (There are lots of Grackles hanging around which is unusual.....these are the first we've caught at the banding station since 2015, and only the 5th & 6th in the past 17 years. Big, beautifully iridescent birds in the hand.) We are closed today, but looking forward to tomorrow - we finally have all the nets up!
