Our slowest day of a very slow season, with only 5 birds banded. We actually had more recaps (7) - birds banded previously this season that we caught again. The highlight of the day was a return - a bird banded in a previous season. This was a House Wren, banded as a hatch year on August 29, 2017 and not caught again until today. Here are the 5 new plus the 1 return:
House Wren 1 return
Ruby-crowned Kinglet 2
Wilson's Warbler 1
Lincoln's Sparrow 1
White-crowned Sparrow, Gambel's 1
