[Meredith McBurney]

A somewhat slower day, with even fewer Yellows around and Wilson's still just getting started.  43 new birds:

Mourning Dove 1

Black-capped Chickadee 1, banded 2018

Red-breasted Nuthatch 2

Gray Catbird 1

Yellow Warbler 6

American Redstart 1

Northern Waterthrush 1

MacGillivray's Warbler 1

Common Yellowthroat 1

Wilson's Warbler 28

We are open 6 days per week, Tuesday-Sunday, weather permitting, through October 13. We are opening nets at 6:40 and should have birds back at the station by 7:20. We will close nets most days at 11:40, with some being closed earlier as long as this heat continues. School groups arrive most weekdays at about 9:30. The best time to visit (fewest people, most birds) is before 9:30 weekdays and Sundays. 

 

Come visit!
