It is like a switch was flipped - 5 days with Yellow Warblers dominating and today we did not band any, replaced by 26 Wilson's Warblers. Fall is coming! 40 new birds total today:

Mourning Dove 1 (We have caught 8 MODOs this season, matching 2006 for the most caught in one season. Judging from the numbers around at the outer nets, there will probably be more.)

Dusky Flycatcher 1

Hammond's Flycatcher 1 FOS

Red-breasted Nuthatch 2 FOS

Orange-crowned Warbler 3

MacGillivray's Warbler 2 FOS

Common Yellowthroat 1

Wilson's Warbler 26

Chipping Sparrow 2 FOS

Song Sparrow 1
