The BCR banding reports seem to have a common theme right now - SLOW. There did not seem to be many birds around today, and then the wind started at about 8 a.m. and that made things worse. No significant numbers of any species, but there was a nice variety. Here's the breakdown of the 14 new birds:
-- Western Wood-pewee 1
Dusky Flycatcher 1
House Wren 2
Ruby-crowned Kinglet 1
Hermit Thrush 1 (FOS)
Gray Catbird 1
Orange-crowned Warbler 1
Yellow-rumped Warbler, Audubon's 1
Common Yellowthroat 1
Wilson's Warbler 3
Dark-eyed Junco, Oregon 1 (FOS)
We are open 6 days per week, Tuesday-Sunday, weather permitting, through October 13. We are opening nets at 6:40 and should have birds back at the station by 7:20. 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!
