Howdy all,
 
Well here is the short of it. It was windy.
All said, we had most of the  nets closed so we really didn't catch much 
today. After the wind switched  directions late yesterday, I was hoping new 
birds 
were pushed in. Didn't seem to  be the case. Oh well, hopefully the wind dies 
down some and we can have more  nets open tomorrow.
Oh, and nothing real fancy today. Just the usual suspects.

Totals  for 10/22:
Golden-crowned Kinglet      2
Brown  Creeper                    1
Winter  Wren                      2
Black-thr. Blue Warbler      2
Common Yellowthroat        1
Yellow-rumped Warbler       36          yep, that's it
Hermit  Thrush                    4
White-throated Sparrow      2
Gray  Catbird                       1
Sharp-shinned  Hawk           1
TOTAL----------------------------  52
 
One month left of the season! Hope the bigger numbers return shortly and  the 
wind slows up!

Cheers,
