[meredith]

Despite the heat and humidity, the wonderful volunteers and staff of the Thursday team persevered, getting the balance of the net lanes and trails cleared today.  If (a big if) the weather cooperates, we will have the full banding station open by the end of the weekend.  In the meantime, a slow day for birds, banding only 18:

Orange-crowned Warbler 1

Yellow Warbler 13

Northern Waterthrush 1

Common Yellowthroat 1

Song Sparrow 1

Lazuli Bunting 1

Opportunities to visit include one-hour slots (up to 15 visitors at a time) from 7:30-8:30 most weekday mornings (Tues-Fri, we are closed on Mon) and 8, 9 , and 10 a.m. one-hour time slots on the weekends.  Click here to make a reservation.  It is pretty cool to see several fall warblers side-by-side in the hand!
