Howdy all,
Today started off as normal, a few net runs, a few birds. Then the 8 o'clock
net run came. We ended the day with a total of 45 birds banded, 31 of them
came on that one net run! Pretty exciting! Although, all the birds caught were
expected, the BROWN-HEADED NUTHATCH was a nice catch for the station. Last
spring only one was caught for the season. We also caught both KINGLETS today
as
well.
Here are the totals for the day:
Ruby-crowned Kinglet 2
Golden-crowned Kinglet 1
Eastern Phoebe 1
Brown-headed Nuthatch 1
Swamp Sparrow 2
Northern Cardinal 1
Tufted Titmouse 1
Carolina Chickadee 3
Pine Warbler 1
Yellow-rumped Warbler 32
Total --------------------------- 45
It is nice when the wind doesn't blow! Hope tomorrow is the same.
Cheers,
Jethro
