Well today was quite windy from the start. We were only able to open a handful of the nets due to high winds, and had to close them all at around 9:30. There were lots of warblers and kinglets flitting around the willows and it may have been a busy morning if not for the wind! As it was, we only banded 6 birds for the day, and had 2 recaptures. Here are the newly banded birds:
-- Ruby-crowned Kinglet: 1
Orange-crowned Warbler: 1
Yellow-rumped 'Audubon's' Warbler: 3
Spotted Towhee: 1
PLEASE NOTE the change in our schedule - we are now opening nets at 7:40 (an hour later) and should have birds back at the station by 8:20. We are open 6 days per week, Tuesday-Sunday, weather permitting, through October 13. We will close nets most days at 11:40, although we are closing earlier as needed due to the heat. 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!
