A BIG banding day before the storm that I still can't accept is coming!  We banded 78 new birds, plus caught 23 from prior days, for a total of 101 individuals.  Here's the breakdown of the 78 new birds:

Hammond's Flycatcher 1

Black-capped Chickadee 1

White-breasted Nuthatch 1

Ruby-crowned Kinglet 6

Hermit Thrush 2

Orange-crowned  Warbler 6

Yellow-rumped Warbler, Myrtle 4

Yellow-rumped Warbler, Audubon's 12

Yellow-rumped  Warbler, Unidentified 1

Common Yellowthroat 1

Spotted Towhee 2

White-crowned Sparrow, Gambel's 2

Dark-eyed Junco, Oregon 12

Dark-eyed Junco, Pink-sided 18

It is highly likely we will be closed tomorrow (Thursday)!  Opening Friday will depend on weather; hopefully by mid-morning.  Then hoping for a good final weekend of fall banding!
