Although the wind caused us to close and then reopen various nets over the course of the morning, we finally had a sort of normal day for spring banding, just really late. We had 4 FOS birds (Western Wood-Pewee, 2 species of Empidonax Flycatchers, Swainson's Thrush) all of which would normally start arriving 2 weeks ago. Yellow Warblers and Catbirds dominated the morning, as is typical for us during much of the spring.
We did have a rarity - our first ever Black-throated Blue Warbler. A lovely adult female, she looked exactly like the picture in the Sibley's Guide!
Here's the breakdown of the 26 new birds caught today:
Western Wood-Pewee 1
WIllow Flycatcher 1
Dusky Flycatcher 1
Cordilleran Flycatcher 1
Swainson's Thrush 1
Gray Catbird 5
Yellow Warbler 9 new, 1 banded 2019
Black-throated Blue Warbler
McGillivray's Warbler 1
Wilson's Warbler 1
Yellow-breasted Chat 2
Lesser Goldfinch 1
