Today was a better bird day and no construction noises. A brisk start to the day produced a few more birds banded than previous days. A Lincoln's Sparrow was a first for the season. The Gray Flycatcher was heard and observed earlier this morning by a volunteer. Ash-throated Flycatcher was vocal later in the morning in the area of the banding station and barns. Virginia's Warbler was singing around the banding station off and on during the morning also.
