Good example, trying to get a shot of a banded Gray Catbird just before dawn. At least Susan added some light from her headlamp.
We did recapture 3 Carolina Wren throughout the day.
This Hermit Thrush hit Net 20 and bounced out and headed straight back in to be caught.
The marsh was very noisy for a while with a nice feeding flock. However, we only managed to get this female Ruby-crowned Kinglet during the rush.
Front is moving through. Rain chances are forecast through next Sunday. Think we will take the 24th off and return on the 31st.
Today's Totals

NOTE: To ensure the safety of our volunteers and the general public, new visitors are discouraged from attending banding at this time. The few of us who remain will update the blog as long as we can and hope to see new faces in the future. Thank you for your understanding during this unprecedented time.
