[meredith]

No new news - sunny day, continued warmer than normal, catching very few birds.  (I think I'll go look for the Flamingo!)  Here's the breakdown on our 9 new birds (and again zero recaps):

Ruby-crowned Kinglet 2

Gray Catbird 1

Orange-crowned Warbler 2

Yellow-rumped Warbler, Audubon's 1

Wilson's Warbler 1

Song Sparrow 2

f you would like to visit our station, we have 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.  As long as the heat continues, you are more likely to see birds if you come earlier in the morning.  Click here to make a reservation.

This post reminds me of a funny story from long ago. I was working with a bird bander and also a guy who was a real jokester. Somehow we all got invited to a fancy dinner where the dessert was flamingo-shaped profiteroles. The jokester smuggled out a profiterole and tangled it in one of the banding nets, where it waited all night to be found by the astonished bander at dawn. And thus that is probably (hopefully!) the only case of a "flamingo" ever being caught in a mist net.

Maybe you had to be there... :)
