Just wanted to advise area birders that Whigg Meadow bird banding
activities, Cherokee National Forest, Monroe Co, TN have ended early due to
hurricane Ivan and forcasts of high winds and rain. Although we had
originally hoped to band Sept 4 - 18, banding was conducted Sept 4 and 5
until Frances closed us down for 3 days. Banding was resumed Sept 9 - 15.
Over all numbers were low this year with 424 birds of 28 species banded.
This is our second lowest total in 7 seasons of banding. Have not yet
calculated birds per net hour but, my impression is that capture rates were
low as well.
Thank you to all who helped with banding chores. Will post a more complete
banding summary in a few days.
