[Jethrorunco@xxxxxxx]

Howdy all,

The first two days of October were a bit opposites but they turned out ok. 
The morning of the first was full of popcorn showers and drizzle. So it was a 
rough morning and we finally called it quits about 9:30am when the rains set 
in. 
We ended up banding 20 birds during that short time, which was not bad 
considering the weather. 
The 2nd was much better after a little north winds and we ended up banding 
106 birds. We caught 23 species and had a good mix of warblers. Seems the GRAY 
CATBIRDS are going to have another big year here. 

Here are the totals for 10/1:

American Redstart               1
Magnolia Warbler                 2
Northern Parula                    1
