Love days like this - cool early mornings, warming up enough to be pleasant but not too hot for banding! Bird captures were fairly steady all morning. Caught 60 birds, but over half had been banded previously this season. Perhaps not surprising, given the really big day we had yesterday. Here's the breakdown of the 29 new birds:
Northern Flicker, Red-shafted 1 Hammond's Flycatcher 1 House Wren 3 Ruby-crowned Kinglet 1 Hermit Thrush 1 Orange-crowned Warbler 2 Yellow Warbler 1 Yellow-rumped Warbler, Audubon's 1 Townsend's Warbler 1 Common Yellowthroat 2 Wilson's Warbler 14 Dark-eyed Junco, Pink-sided 1 We are open 6 days each week, weather permitting, through October 16.We are closed every Monday in September, then October 4 and 12. We are opening nets at about 6:30 a.m. and we start closing between 11 a.m. and 12 noon. We will open later and/or close earlier if it is very hot, very cold, wet, windy, etc. There are school groups most weekday mornings, usually arriving around 9:30. Best times to visit, if you like lots of birds and fewer humans, are early mornings during the week and Sundays.
