Howdy all,
Sorry for the longer message, but I have been a bun the last few days. Or busy?
Something anyway.
The past two days we have seen a good number of birds come down the shore and
our banding numbers have gone up.
Yellow-rumps were dominating of course, but a few nice birds mixed in. I really
like this time of year here!

Yellow-rumps are in and so our overall numbers will be climbing quickly the
next few weeks. This is the time of year for good rarities around here so I
have my fingers crossed that we will catch something good. It would be nice to
see an Ash-throated Flycatcher here! But I know, I am just dreaming! At least
there is good numbers of birds around! The next two weeks might be quite
interesting here on the shore!
Hope to see you all this month!
Cheers,
Jethro
