[meredith]

Finished off our week with what I think of as a typical Barr banding morning, with Wilson's Warblers dominating and a relatively small number of species (11 species with a total of 49 banded compared with 16 species and 32 banded yesterday).  Here's the breakdown:

Western Wood-Pewee 4

Dusky Flycatcher 3

Cassin's Vireo 1

Black-capped Chickadee 1

House Wren 5

Yellow Warbler 6

Townsend's Warbler 1

MacGillivray's Warbler 1

Common Yellowthroat 1

Wilson's Warbler 25

Chipping Sparrow 1
