(Note this is a slightly belated report for Sunday. Today is our day off and I was, well, lazy last night and most of today.)
Sunday was a slightly busier day with 34 captures, plus we had 3 FOS species (Cassin's Vireo, Ruby-crowned Kinglet and Hermit Thrush) and our third Ovenbird. The Ovenbird was just loaded with fat, a very good sign during migration. Here's the breakdown for the day:
Western Wood-Pewee 1
Cassin's Vireo 1
Ruby-crowned Kinglet 1
Hermit Thrush 1
American Robin 1
Grey Catbird 1
Ovenbird 1
Wilson's Warbler 26
'Mountain' White-crowned Sparrow 1
We are open 6 days a week, weather permitting through October 23. Closed Mondays. Click
