I had a feeling that we would have a better day than yesterday this morning with the NNW wind. However, I did not believe it would have been this good. We close the nets early due to heat but still managed to accrue 26 bird species in our catch for the day. Pretty amazing I think. Five warbler species (Wilson's, Yellow, Orange-crowned, MacGillivray's, and Common Yellowthroat) were banded. New species for the Season are Orchard Oriole, Warbling Vireo, Gray Catbird, Hammond's Flycatcher, and Green-tailed Towhee. Many thanks to the volunteers who pitched in today. Everyone's assistance was greatly appreciated. Great Job!
