Howdy all,
Today was again windy but not as bad as it has been, so we were able to get
a few nets open today. We did very well considering the conditions and the
lack of nets. But there were birds everywhere today, so it was a bit
frustrating, because it could have been a big day. Oh well.
Lots of migrant BLACKBIRDS (including RUSTY'S) and AMERICAN ROBINS moving
overhead this morning. PINE SISKINS were around. And YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS
were in big numbers. SPARROWS and HERMIT THRUSHES were present but not in very
big numbers. Hopefully the sparrows show up soon.
Here are the totals 10/30:
Black-throated Blue Warbler 1
Yellow-rumped Warblers 145
Ruby-crowned Kinglet 3
Swamp Sparrow 2
White-throated Sparrow 3
Hermit Thrush 3
Sharp-shinned Hawk 1
TOTAL-------------------------------- 158
Cheers,
