Just read through the reports from our other three stations for today - What a wide variety of experiences we had today!
The ~24 hours of drizzle and the first almost cold morning seem to have brought in some birds - we had only our second good day of the season. We banded 50 new birds, which included two semi-rarities - A Philadelphia Vireo and a Blackpoll Warbler. Coincidentally, the last Blackpoll was caught on 9/17/17 - almost exactly six years ago in another year when the lake water early in the season was really high. Here's the breakdown of the 50 new birds: Philadelphia Vireo 1 Rock Wren 1 House Wren 1 Swainson's Thrush 1 Orange-crowned Warbler 9 Blackpoll Warbler 1 Yellow Warbler 1 Common Yellowthroat 1 Wilson's Warbler 31 Green-tailed Towhee 1 Clay-colored Sparrow 1 Lincoln's Sparrow 1 If you would like to visit, we have one-hour slots (up to 15 visitors at a time) from 7:30-8:30 most weekday mornings (Tues-Fri, we are closed on Mon) and 8, 9 , and 10 a.m. one-hour time slots on the weekends.
