Today it warmed up fast and I believe the birds were not very active. WE did end up with 21 bird species captured today. Audubon's (Yellow-rumped) Warbler was a first for the fall. Another Red-shafted Flicker made an appearance in our nets as well as a Ladder-backed Woodpecker which intrigued the 5th graders visiting the station. All recaptures except the Brown Thrashers are gaining weight. It is about time for them to skiddaddle south! Here is the Catch of the Day: *71 New Birds* Wilson's Warbler -34 Orange-crowned Warbler -2 MacGillivray's Warbler -1 Audubon's Warbler -3 Ruby-crowned Kinglet -1 Hammond's Flycatcher -1 House Wren -1 Cassin's Vireo -1 Lincoln's Sparrow -1 Gambel's White -crowned Sparrow -3 Green -tailed Towhee -4 Spotted Towhee -2 Lazuli Bunting -1 Chipping Sparrow -7 Clay-colored Sparrow -1 Brewster's Sparrow -3 Ladder-backed Woodpecker -1 Western Tanager -1 Brown Thrasher -2 Red-shafted Flicker -1
