Howdy all,
Nothing too wild and crazy today at the station. Catbirds seem to be rather
common here. They made up...oh... half of the birds I saw this morning! Bird
activity was quite good at sunrise and for about two hours after that but came
to a screeching halt after that. Ended up banding 38 birds today with all but
five coming before 9am. I stayed until 1:30pm. It was still a nice morning.
Totals for the day:
NORTHERN PARULA 1
PRAIRIE WARBLER 2
YELLOW PALM WARBLER 1
BLACK-&-WHITE WARBLER 1
WORM-EATING WARBLER 1
BLUE-GRAY GNATCATCHER 1
RUBY-CROWNED KINGLET 3
WHITE-THROATED SPARROW 2
EASTERN TOWHEE 2
HERMIT THRUSH 1
WOOD THRUSH 1
NORTHERN MOCKINGBIRD 1 60th species for the season
BLUE JAY 1
GRAY CATBIRD 20
TOTAL--------------------------------------- 38
My prediction for tomorrow.....uummm....catbirds!
Cheers,
Jethro Runco
