Once again, caught birds in a steady stream until the heat picked up, then activity pretty much ended. Most interesting capture today was a Chipping Sparrow that we banded on 8/27. On the 27th, it was in "juvenile" plumage - would have had a streaky breast - and was starting to molt. Today, its breast was clear, although still growing in some new feathers. So, a Chipper who came to Barr to do its molt, and has been doing that over the last 3 weeks.
-- Here's a breakdown of today's 20 new birds:
Ruby-crowned Kinglet 1
Hermit Thrush 1
Grey Catbird 1
Wilson's Warbler 15
Spotted Towhee 1 (FOS)
Lincoln's Sparrow 1
Open Friday and Saturday, then closed Sunday and Monday, then open next week Tuesday through Saturday.
