Don't have anyway to verify this, but this might be the slowest few days in a row ever! Today, we caught 8 birds in our 7:20 run, 3 at 7:50, 2 at the Nature Center nets, and nothing else the rest of the morning. Luckily, we had lot of one-of-a-kinds, so the Kingery's Beginning Birder class had an opportunity to learn about lots of species. Here were the 8 new birds for the season (the balance of those we caught were recaptures):
-- Rock Wren 1
House Wren 1
Ruby-crowned Kinglet 1
Orange-crowned Warbler 1
Clay-colored Sparrow 1
Song Sparrow 1
Gambel's White-crowned Sparrow 1
Dark-eyed Junco, Oregon 1
Closed Sun and Mon; then open Tues through Sat again next week. We usually have our first birds back at the station by about 7:30. We usually close between 11 and 12, but have been closing somewhat earlier during this heat. Hoping for a weather change soon!
