Hi all,
A very good
migration day today...some north winds after so many south wind days lately. We
banded 101 birds of 22 species with just less than half being American
Redstarts. Firsts for the season included Chestnut-sided and Black-throated
Blue Warblers along with Northern Waterthrush. Veery was also new for the fall.
