Hi folks,

I don't think I've mentioned that Gar Secrist, our summer research
intern, has been writing the Tremont banding reports this season. 
Here's the latest.

Tremont's fourth banding day (MAPS Period 6) was somewhat the
opposite of last week's banding - we had much more diversity (six
species instead of one) and fewer Lousiana Waterthrush.  Only two of
the seven birds captured were LOWAs.  We have, so far, had 27 LOWA
captures.  The station record is 34, so we may surpass that this
year.  And most have been juveniles.  

We are starting to get female birds with wrinkled (or, in MAPS
jargon, "4") brood patches, and adults molting wing feathers, which
goes well with our observations of lots of fledglings around.  I
think nesting season is about over for all but the AMGOs.  It seems
to have been a good year for baby birds.

The capture totals are:

1 Carolina Wren (recapture)
1 Chipping Sparrow (released unbanded due to bird stress)
1 Eastern Pheobe
1 Indigo Bunting
2 Louisiana Waterthrush
1 Ovenbird

Our total number of captures for the season is now 43.  We are now 
somewhat behind last year's mid-season total of 51.

The station was visited by campers from Tremont's Field Ecology Camp.
 
Several of the campers joined us on net runs and released birds.

A Tiger Spiketail dragonfly was caught (and removed intact) from one
of the nets, and a Gray Petaltail was also seen.  A copperhead and an
Eastern Milk Snake were found under two of reptile tins at the ozone
garden.

Our next banding day is June 30th.  Nets open at 6:20.

Gar
