Another morning much like Sunday - about 3 1/2 hours of banding before we needed to close the nets because of the heat. Still working with the 12 up front nets - the outer area is remains very muddy.....probably another week before we can put up those nets. Banded 28 birds today:
House Wren 8
Yellow Warbler 6
American Redstart 1 (2nd of the season, both young males)
Wilson's Warbler 13
Come visit! We are open 6 days per week (CLOSED Mondays), weather permitting. We are opening nets at 6:30 and should have birds back at the station before 7:30. We will close most days by about 11:30, earlier now when it is so hot. School groups arrive most weekdays at about 9:30.
