A slow day, with only 18 new birds banded. We only recaptured 3 birds that had been banded earlier this season - it seems the migrants that had been hanging around for a week or more decided the rain was a good reason to get moving.
Our enthusiastic group of 11 early morning visitors may have broken a record for the widest age range - the youngest was 15, the oldest 95! Great fun!
Here are the 18 new birds:
Dusky Flycatcher 1
White-breasted Nuthatch 1
House Wren 1
Swainson's Thrush 1
Hermit Thrush 1
Orange-crowned Warbler 2
Wilson's Warbler 3
Chipping Sparrow 1
Song Sparrow 2
White-crowned Sparrow, Gambel's 4
Dark-eyed Junco, Slate-colored (Cassiar) 1
Weather permitting, we are banding Tuesday through Sunday mornings (closed Mondays). There is a public session most weekday mornings from 7:30-8:30, and three time slots on weekends, at 8, 9, and 10 a.m. There is a $7 fee and registration is required – click here to register!
Let me know if you have any questions,
