This week at the banding station was almost a carbon-copy for weather pattern as last week!
Sunday was a good day but turned on Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday cleared up with south winds, and a good movement of birds.White-throated sparrows and Yellow-rumped warblers showed well this week, and a movement of SY male and female Red-winged blackbirds brought the totals up.
Warblers were represented by only two species so far, Yellow-rumped and Western palm.
The next southerly flow should bring the diversity and numbers we are waiting for!
