A nice cool morning with a great mix of species! Two new species for the season, both of which are unusual captures for the station: We started the day with a lovely (and very feisty) young male Rose-breasted Grosbeak. We also had a young Nashville Warbler, who had managed to survive what looked to have been a severe (but completely healed) injury to the back of her head. Total of 40 new birds:
We have just a little over a week to go for this banding season....our last day will be Sunday, October 11. We will be open every day until then EXCEPT Thursday, 10/8. We are opening nets about 6:45, and running until noon or whenever it gets too hot or too
windy or too whatever. School groups arrive about 9:30 a.m. most weekdays.
