Howdy all,
Since the banding station has been rained out the past two days, I have been
able to get a little caught up! Last weekend was the birding festival here and
it was very busy. And so were the birds Sunday! We ended up banding 246
individuals Sunday! A fun day for all! Since Sunday, bird numbers have been a
little slow. But a few nice birds were caught to help in the quality
department.
With a cold front looming, we are looking to have a pretty nice day for bird
numbers Monday. At least we hope! We are expecting a large number of
Yellow-rumps to be in the mix. Those guys should give us a pretty busy day.
The birds listed below are from the time period 10/6 to 10/10. We were rained
out on the 10/11 and 10/12. More than half the birds listed came from Sunday
the 6th alone!
Cheers,
Jethro Runco
