This is our last week; we will take down the station after banding on Friday. We have a group from 8-10 on Thursday, no visitors scheduled on Friday.  We are opening nets at 6:30, and most days have birds back at the station by 7:15. We aim to close by noon most days, earlier if it is very hot, very cold, or very windy.
