Howdy all,
The last two days have seen quite a few YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS, but not much
else. And yes, we were able to band a bit yesterday before the rains set in.
We really didn't catch much but yellow-rumps.
Highlight yesterday was an ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER. Today's goodies were our
second WHITE-CROWNED SPARROW of the season and our first HAIRY WOODPECKER of
the season.
But as I said, YELLOW-RUMPS dominate!
