Thanks to Tom Armour for finishing out the month alone today, while I was at
the CVWO First Landing Songbird Banding Station, hoping for warm weather,
which didn't materialize.
Tom found 16 birds today despite east winds, which have been rather
persistent this week. The 200+ birds for the week is a very good weekly total.
Yesterday's 8 species was the best variety of any day so far. The season total
of
702 is the second best total going into April, since the first season in 1997.
American Kestrels finally appeared, with 5 total by week's end.
