[cobirds] RMBO Barr Banding Report, 9/18 and 9/19/13

We are seeing the transition from late summer to early fall – Wed we had possibly our last Yellow Warbler and our first Yellow-rumped, plus our first Ruby-crowned Kinglets.  Also had our third Nashville Warbler (never had more than two in a season).  Flickers, Blue Jays and Downy Woodpeckers (all of which tend to be later season captures) are around and more active.  We finally caught the White-breasted Nuthatch that’s been taunting us for at least a week.   Here’s the breakdown:

Hammond’s Flycatcher 1

Dusky Flycatcher          1
