It is like a switch was flipped - 5 days with Yellow Warblers dominating and today we did not band any, replaced by 26 Wilson's Warblers. Fall is coming! 40 new birds total today:
Mourning Dove 1 (We have caught 8 MODOs this season, matching 2006 for the most caught in one season. Judging from the numbers around at the outer nets, there will probably be more.)
Dusky Flycatcher 1
Hammond's Flycatcher 1 FOS
Red-breasted Nuthatch 2 FOS
Orange-crowned Warbler 3
MacGillivray's Warbler 2 FOS
Common Yellowthroat 1
Wilson's Warbler 26
Chipping Sparrow 2 FOS
Song Sparrow 1
