Hi folks,
The banding continues to be interesting at Seven Islands (SIWR).
Today we caught 73 birds of 16 species. We?re really seeing the
youngsters hit the nets now, with 40 of the 55 newly banded birds
hatched this year.
In addition to the signs that breeding is over that we saw last week
(blackbirds flocking up, less song, etc) we also are starting to see
some birds that just migrate through, such as Cliff Swallows.
