[va-bird] Kiptopeke banding 10/27

Howdy all,
It was a beautiful day to be out banding this morning. The wind was light and 
the sun came out. Made for a very pleasant day. We managed to band 183 birds 
today with a great showing of sparrows. Including our first Vesper Sparrow of 
the season and first one since 1999. And for a change, yellow-rumps didn't even 
make up half the total! 
Hope the next few days are very similar to today.

Yellow-rumped               81
Golden-crowned Kinglet  22           first big push of the season
