Each day is a mystery as to what birds or if many birds will appear in the nets or around the banding station proper. Very quiet today- the hummingbirds were active after about 8 AM today. Yesterday hummingbirds were not active until after 9- 10AM. A couple net checks with zero to 2 birds and then the migrants overnight must have dropped into the olive grove around 7:30. The day heated up quick so birds quieted down @ 10 AM. We did catch 15 bird species today.
*50 New Birds Banded* Wilson's Warbler- 20 Orange-crowned Warbler- 1 MacGillivray's Warbler- 3 Western Flycatcher- 1 House Wren- 3 Red-breasted Nuthatch- 1 Chipping Sparrow- 4 Lincoln's Sparrow- 2 Lazuli Bunting- 1 Swainson's Thrush- 2 Yellow-breasted Chat- 1 Green- tailed Towhee- 4 Western Tanager- 4 Gray Catbird- 2 Brown Thrasher- 1 No Recaptures The Banding Station will be open tomorrow and Saturday from Sunrise to around 11:30 AM. It looks to be another couple warm days so we will probably be closing a little early these next couple days. Stop by and visit the banding station if you are in the area. Have a good day!
