A perfectly lovely first day of fall banding - a nice cloud cover kept the temperature down so we were comfortable banding 67 new birds. Although Wilson's Warblers dominated, we had a great mix of species:
-- Warbling Vireo 1
Red-eyed Vireo 1
Black-capped Chickadee 4
House Wren 6
Gray Catbird 1
Orange-crowned Warbler 5
Virginia's Warbler 1
Yellow Warbler 10
Townsend's Warbler 3
American Redstart 1
MacGillivray's Warbler 2
Common Yellowthroat 1
Wilson's Warbler 29
Song Sparrow 1
Lincoln's Sparrow 1
We will be open 6 days per week (closed Mondays), weather permitting, through October 14. We are opening nets at 6:30 and should have birds back at the station by 7:15. We will close most days by about 11:30. School groups arrive most weekdays at about 9:30. The best time to visit (fewest people, most birds) is before 9:30 weekdays and Sundays.
Come visit!
