Howdy all,
Well, the last two days have been much slower tan we have had in quite some 
time. The first was a nice day but today was very windy so we could only run 
half of our nets. As a whole however, there are a lot less birds around right 
now than a week ago. 
Here are the numbers for the last two days.

1 Nov:
Ruby-crowned Kinglet    2
Brown Creeper              1
Winter Wren                 1
House Wren                  1
Yellow-rumped Warbler  33
Western Palm Warbler    1
Eastern Phoebe             1
Hermit Thrush                 2
Chipping Sparrow            1
Song Sparrow                 12
Swamp Sparrow               5
Slate-colored Junco          1
White-throated Sparrow     4
American Robin                3
Sharp-shinned Hawk         1
TOTAL -------------------------  69

2 Nov:
Golden-crowned Kinglet    1
Brown Creeper                 1
Yellow-rumped Warbler     18
Slate-colored Junco           1
White-throated Sparrow     3
Hermit Thrush                    1
TOTAL  ------------------------  25    after the last few weeks, do you know 
how slow today was!

I hope the winds die down tonight and there are still a few birds around. I 
am not quite ready to throw in the towel yet!!

Cheers,
Jethro Runco
