Today was even slower, with five new birds and one bird that was banded in a previous year. Luckily, since it is still early in the season, we got three new species, bringing our total up to 10.
Orange-crowned warbler 1 (FOS)
White crowned sparrow 3 (including recapture)
House Finch 1 (FOS)
Western Scrub-jay 1 (FOS)
I'll be banding at Connected Lakes State Park every M-F starting at about 7:30. Stop by for a visit! Also, public banding day is on September 28th.
