Here is the summary of newly banded birds for the day:

House Wren: 1

Orange-crowned Warbler: 3

You are welcome to visit the banding station. I'll be banding through the first week of October and nets will be open 6 days a week (Monday through Saturday). This week I am opening nets at 6:40 and banding until 11:40 weather permitting.
