Continued slow - We are well behind normal numbers for this time in the season - a combination of the early high water, the continued heat, problems with raccoons and who knows what else (storms, forest fires......)! We banded 17 birds today:
House Wren 2
Orange-crowned Warbler 1
American Redstart 1
Common Yellowthroat 1
Wilson's Warbler 12
Come visit! We are open 6 days per week (CLOSED Mondays), weather permitting, through October 15. We are opening nets at 6:30 and should have birds back at the station before 7:30. We will close most days by about 11:30, earlier now when it is so hot. School groups arrive most weekdays at about 9:30.
