Howdy all,
It has been really really slow at the banding station the last few days. The
weather pattern has not been good for us to catch birds. Too much wind, and
from the wrong directions.
And to make matters worse, the forecast is not looking real pretty either.
Anyway, here are the totals for the last four days. Nothing too rare or any
cool recaptures.
Sure hope that all changes soon!

Magnolia Warbler 1
Common Yellowthroat 2

Sorry for the big post but I guess it is better than four itty bitty ones!!!
Sure would like to see some rain here, however. It is very dry here on the
shore.
Cheers,
