[TN-Bird] Banded Saturday

Had our first day of banding this past Saturday on Big Bald in Unicoi
County.  Banded the following:
 

5 juncos (all hatch year)

2 black-throated blues

1 Blackburnian

1 Cedar Waxwing

1 Towhee

 

It was extremely warm and very still air - lots of flies!!!!

 

Also saw a couple of small waves of warblers/vireos:

Wormeating, Black and White, Chestnut sided, Solitary Vireo in addition to
others of the above

 

Also had Raven, Crows, Red-tail Hawk, Coopers Hawk, Blue Jay, Goldfinch.

 

7 nets open for different parts of the day.  This was our first day for the
season and I was busy getting things situated so it was more logistical than
anything else.  We'll be in full swing for Labor Day.
