This is the Barr report for SATURDAY, 9/12/26.  (My apologies; my computer went crazy yesterday.)

We had another very busy day at Barr, banding a total of 128 birds.  As usual this year (and most years) driven by Wilson's Warblers.  We banded another 97 today, bringing our total to date to 679, which is more than any total season in at least the past 20 years.  They must have had a spectacular breeding season.  Here's the breakdown of the 128 banded Saturday:
