We got our first Flicker of the season today, the last (I think) of the common BIG birds that we look forward to catching every season. And our second Tennessee Warbler (We've only caught 7 total in the past 17 years). But overall a pretty slow morning, with only 13 birds banded:
Northern Flicker, Red-shafted 1
Ruby-crowned Kinglet 1
Tennessee Warbler 1
Yellow-rumped Warbler, Audubon's 2
Yellow-rumped Warbler, Myrtle 1
Lincoln's Sparrow 1
White-crowned Sparrow, Gambel's 5
Dark-eyed Junco, Oregon 1
