newly banded birds were:

Canada warbler
hooded warbler (a young male in full breeding condition)
ovenbird (3)
red-eyed vireo (5)
white-eyed vireo (1)
Acadian flycatcher (2)
gray-cheeked thrush
Swainson's thrush
wood thrush
American goldfinch

northern cardinal (3)
gray catbird
blue-gray gnatcher
returns from previous years:

caught and released unbanded:
ruby-throated hummingbird (2)
Several black-and-white and prairie warblers were present all morning but
avoided being caught.
Great birds and a beautiful morning!
