Banding at Greenway Farms continues to be very productive this fall; I had 18
birds in 1 net during one check of the nets! There were several FOS migrants
that showed up. The numbers for today are 12 American Redstarts, 9 Wood
Thrushes, 8 Magnolia warblers, 6 Tennessee Warblers (FOS), 5 Swainson's
Thrushes, 3 Gray-cheeked Thrushes, 3 Ovenbirds, 1 Gray Catbird, 1
Black-throated-green Warbler (FOS), and 1 Blackburnian Warbler (FOS). Keep in
mind that I have only been reporting fall migrants; you can add a handful of
cardinals, Carolina Wrens, Brown Thrashers, etc. to each of the tallies I
report. Also, I have had several people inquire about visiting the site.
Greenway Farms is public property, so anyone can go out there, and I am happy
to have people observe the banding. Just keep in mind that when I am really
busy, as I have been the past few outings, my focus is on processing the birds
safely and quickly, so I may not have time to let people get their fill of
taking pictures, and it may take a moment before I am able to answer someone's
questions.
