Good Friday! There seemed to be a bit more bird activity early around the banding station today; but once it heated up the birds were scarce. A very nice day for some new species for the season which included Brewer's and Clay-colored Sparrow, Northern Mockingbird, and Black-headed Grosbeak. We had two recaptures. One was a Western Flycatcher that has been hanging around for a week. We banded it on September 1st, recaptured it on the 5th and caught it again today. It lost a half of gram from the last time it was captured. However, there is plenty of flies and other insects in the olive grove for it to eat.
