More Recaps as the Fall Seems Slow

Radar was showing possible rain but the real forecast said 0%. So we headed out to see what we could find. House Wrens were up early and made up a number of recaptures. We had three of them today.



Carolina Wren showed up as well and we got two recaptures.



Northern Cardinals are starting to move about later in the day and we caught one recaptured male.



The volunteers decided that the Bird of the Day was our next bird. A White-eyed Vireo we first banded a while ago.



Western Palm Warblers are the most seen warblers in the area this year and we finally ended the day with one new bird to band.



Still waiting on the final arrivals of the year. Bird numbers seem to be rather low compared to many recent years. Should be hearing Robins all day but we only saw 3 today. Next week we are expecting visitors from the North Shore Birding Festival and hope to get as many birds as possible to make everyone able to see some migrants and locals up close and the banding process.
