Where Did They All Go?

All of our migrants found last week have seemed to have moved on. Nothing but quiet while setting nets. Owls didn't even call until just around dawn and they were way back in the park. Most of our birds today were recaptured Carolina Wrens like this juvenile we have been recapturing for the past few weeks.



It was mainly the babies being recaptured but we eventually got one of the old adult Carolina Wrens now molting its tail feathers.



We had a couple visitors to the site today and as we were shutting down for the morning we did manage to get a new female Downy Woodpecker at Net 21.



Alex is keen to join us in the future and got to release the Downy Woodpecker after processing.



Watching weather for Sunday as Invest 92 swirls about Southern Florida. Hurricane Harvey could spin some birds our way but 92 could keep numbers in flux. We shall see. If we cannot band, I will post first thing Sunday AM.


NOTE: No banding August 27. Raining.
