[Jethrorunco@xxxxxxx]

Howdy all,

First off, just as a warning to all, I will not be at the banding station 
tomorrow (Saturday). Bart Paxton from the Center for Conservation Biology will 
be 
filling in for me. 

Today we saw less bird activity than the previous few days but still managed 
to band 22. Athough none of them were very unusual, we did catch our first 
PRAIRIE WARBLER of the season. We also caught our second LEAST FLYCATCHER of 
the 
season, which is a species we don't catch too many of in a season. 

Here is the breakdown for the day:

American Redstart               6
Prairie Warbler                     1
Black-and-white Warbler       4
Ovenbird                              2
Northern Waterthrush            1
Least Flycatcher                   1
Field Sparrow                       1
Carolina Wren                      3
Northern Cardinal                  3
Ruby-throated Hummingbird   unbanded
TOTAL------------------------------   22

I will be back at the station Sunday. I hope to see everybody then! Remember, 
the earlier the better, after about 9AM the bird number drops off pretty 
good. 

Cheers,
Jethro Runco
