[Genevieve Day]

May 22

After being unable to band on Monday and Tuesday due to the weather today was a very birdy day... of mostly all Swainson's Thrushes. I caught a total of 81 birds today, one of which was a Black-Chinned Hummingbird, which I released unbanded: 

American Redstart: 1

MacGillivray's Warbler: 3

Lincoln's Sparrow: 4

Swainson's Thrush: 62 

Gray Catbird: 5

Yellow-breasted Chat: 1

Spotted Towhee: 2

Brown Thrasher: 1

Bullock's Oriole: 1 

This is the final week of banding for the Spring, another bander will arrive to pick up when fall migration starts!  I will be banding 6-11, weather permitting, each day until Friday. On Friday I will stop banding around 9am. Please come visit!
