Hermit Thrush banded yesterday weight and fat maintaining the same.

The banding station will be open tomorrow through Saturday from sunrise until @ 11:30AM. Stop by if you are on the ranch and tell us your sightings. I would have imagined that the other hot spots on the ranch were pretty good with species diversity this morning. The banding station had birds around but many did not get into the net.

Remember to go to the Aiken Audubon Society website for registering for birding access to the Ranch.
