Howdy all,

Just a quick note: Today was the first day banding for the fall season! And a 
warm one it was! The station is mostly up but the heat is going to keep us 
from banding past noon. We managed to catch a few birds (13) before it got too 
hot. The best two birds of the day were a BlLUE-WINGED WARBLER and a LOUISIANA 
WATERTHRUSH!  We also caught a MOURNING DOVE which is a bird we rarely catch! 

The list of birds banded today:

Blue-winged Warbler           1
Field Sparrow                     1
Louisiana Waterthrush        1
Carolina Wren                    4
Northern Cardinal                5
Mourning Dove                    1

Total                                 13


I will write more about the station in the next few days. Still busy trying 
to the the station looking like a banding station! 
Sure nice to be back on the eastern shore!!

Cheers,
