Howdy all,
Not the greatest day for banding but a beautiful day to be out! We only
banded 70 birds today and nothing unexpected but we did catch our first BLUE
JAY of
the season bringing the season species count to 99. Only one more species! My
guess is Fox Sparrow will be number 100. We still have two weeks of banding
yet so I guess anything is possible.
Here is the breakdown for the 5 Nov:
Brown Creeper 2
Ruby-crowned Kinglet 1
Field Sparrow 2
Swamp Sparrow 7
Song Sparrow 9
White-throated Sparrow 7
Western Palm Warbler 1
Yellow-rumped Warbler 35
Hermit Thrush 3
Gray Catbird 1
Blue Jay 1 First for the season,
species number 99
Northern Cardinal 1
TOTAL ------------------------- 70
Cheers,
Jethro Runco
