Continued slow (how many different ways can I say that?) Thanks to our wonderful visitors, who are interested in the broader conservation picture that emerges when we have a year like this and deeply appreciate the few birds they do get to see. (Today, we enjoyed the side-by-side comparisons of Swainson's and Hermit Thrushes, Gray Catbird and Brown Thrasher, and Song and Lincoln Sparrows.) Here's the breakdown of the 9 new birds today (we also had 8 recaps, which is how we got the catbird and thrasher together):
House Wren 1 Swainson's Thrush 1 Gray Catbird 1 Orange-crowned Warbler 2 Song Sparrow 1 Lincoln's Sparrow 2 Dark-eyed Junco, Oregon 1 We will be banding tomorrow, unless the wind drives us away! If you would like to visit our station, 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. As long as the heat continues, you are more likely to see birds if you come earlier in the morning.
