Howdy all,
The last three days of banding has been very ... umm...interesting. And even. 
 We banded exactly 22 birds each day of October so far. I really hope this 
does not hold true for the rest of the month!  This weekend we had over 150 
people pass through the banding station and only had 44 birds during that time. 
Argh! Anyway, today was all about the same. 
During the last three days we really didn't catch anything that was to 
unusual. Maybe we will catch something good next weekend for the birding 
festival!!

Here is the totals for the last three days.

10/1:
Magnolia Warbler         1
Black-throated Blue      2
