In amongst our usual late spring birds, we had our second WHITE-EYED VIREO!  In the 14 years of this station, we've only had one other, in 2009, a year of big storms when we caught a whole variety of unlikely species.  Here's the breakdown of the 25 new birds today:

Western Wood-pewee 1

Dusky Flycatcher 1

White-eyed Vireo 1

House Wren 1 new, 1 banded in 2016

Swainson's Thrush 2

Yellow Warbler 5

MacGillivray's Warbler 1

Common Yellowthroat 1

Wilson's Warbler 1

Spotted Towhee 1

Song Sparrow 1

Lincoln's Sparrow 3

Tomorrow (Thursday) is our last day!
