Howdy all,
Not much to report "again" from the banding station. Been pretty slow, but I am
hopeful that birds are on the move as I write this. The north east winds that
are blowing currently should get the birds up and moving tonight. So it might
be interesting tomorrow. I am concerned that it will be too windy tomorrow, to
safely run many nets. With that said, I don't think we will be taking much
advantage of the push of birds into and through the area. But I guess it is all
a wait and see.
Here are the totals for the last two days.
9/9:
American Redstart??????????? 5
Common Yellowthroat??????? 1
Traill's Flycatcher????????????? 2????????? (willow or alder)
Carolina Wren?????????????????? 1
Northern Cardinal?????????????? 1
TOTAL ---------------------------? 10
