Howdy all,
Today was a slower day but it was more due to the wind than anything. There
were LOTS of YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS still around. We didn't catch anything
unusual but we did manage to catch 226 birds for the day. Of the three
SHARP-SHINNED HAWKS we caught today, two of them were adult birds! Very
beautiful! We
don't catch many of them here.
Here are the totals for the day 10/26:
Ruby-crowned Kinglet 4
Golden-crowned Kinglet 3
Brown Creeper 1
Black-throated Blue Warbler 1
Common Yellowthroat 1
Yellow-rumped Warbler 196
Eastern Phoebe 1
Field Sparrow 1
White-throated Sparrow 6
Eastern Towhee 1
Hermit Thrush 3
Gray Catbird 5 now that a little
more normal
Sharp-shinned Hawk 3
TOTAL----------------------------------- 226
