[cobirds] RMBO Barr Banding Station Report, 8/31/13

Wilson’s Warblers dominated today - coming through in a couple of flocks early in the morning – making for a pretty typical early migration day at Barr.  Here’s the breakdown:

 

Willow Flycatcher             2

“Traill’s” Flycatcher          1 (Measurements and a more obvious eye-ring suggested this might not have been our usual Willow…..)

Black-capped Chickadee               1

House Wren       3 new, 1 return (banded 8/19/12)

Yellow Warbler 5

MacGillivray’s Warbler   1

Wilson’s Warbler              22

 

Weather remains HOT, and the birds are out and active early – we caught the vast majority of our birds by 8:30, and started closing at 10:30.  So, we hope you will visit this weekend, but please come early! 

 

We are open 6 days a week from now through October 13.  This coming week we are closed Friday, 9/6; the following week Monday, 9/9.
