Hi All!

It is good to be back. The morning was beautiful but slow with birds. There was a Nashville and Townsend's Warbler around the banding station in one of the tall cottonwood trees. A few Orange-crowned and Yellow-rumped Warblers were also flitting around the trees as well.

8 New Birds Banded

Blue-gray Gnatcatcher -1

Spotted Towhee- 1

Intermediate White-crowned Sparrow-1 (Had some Gambel's and Mountain subspecies characteristics)

Gambel's White-crowned Sparrow -5

No Recaptures

Hoping for a better day tomorrow. Remember to sign up on the Aiken Audubon Website if you want to visit the Banding station and select portions of the ranch. www.aikenaudubon.com 

Have a good day
