[Jethrorunco@xxxxxxx]

Howdy all,

We saw a small push of birds this morning but it dried up quickly. We ended 
the day with a total of 39 birds but 34 of them came by 9am. So ugly after 9. 
We did catch another EASTERN SCREECH OWL on our first run of the morning 
(6:45am). It was another recapture, and probable another from the Center for 
Conservation Biology's Saw-whet Owl study. We also caught our first BALTIMORE 
ORIOLES 
of the season. 

Here is the numbers for the day 9/1:

American Redstart                7
Prairie Warbler                     2
Black-throated Blue Warbler  1
Common Yellowthroat           2
Northern Waterthrush            1
Worm-eating Warbler             1
Yellow-breasted Chat             1
Traill's Flycatcher                  6
Carolina Chickadee               1
Carolina Wren                       2
Field Sparrow                        1
Red-eyed Vireo                      2
Veery                                   5
Baltimore Oriole                    2
Northern Cardinal                   5
Ruby-throated Hummingbird               1    unbanded
Eastern Screech Owl                        1     recapture
TOTAL  -----------------------------   39

Rumor has it a cold front is coming. If so, this weekend might be decent. We 
could only hope so!!!

Cheers,
