Great Smoky Mountains Institute at Tremont Great Smoky Mountains National Park Blount County, TN Hi folks, The summer bird banding at Tremont continues to be up and down. Last week, June 14, was an average day, while today, June 20, was another slow day. Here are the numbers: For Wednesday, June 14, we captured a total of 13 birds, including: 6 Louisiana Waterthrush (including 1 recapture) 1 Eastern Phoebe (a recapture) 1 Black-throated Green Warbler 1 Black-and-white Warbler 1 Acadian Flycatcher 1 Red-eyed Vireo 1 Carolina Wren 1 American Robin Today we captured: 2 Louisiana Waterthrush 2 Black-throated Green Warbler (including recapturing the one from last week) 1 Hooded Warbler 1 Carolina Wren While 19 captures is slow for 2 days, it was nice to have nine different species. The Robin was our 11th in 6.5 seasons. We have caught nine Black-throated Green Warblers over that same time, and 2006 is now our best year so far for that species.
