First bird up was a new female Northern Cardinal.
Next up, a juvenile Hermit Thrush that we banded a bit earlier in the Fall.
We had 3 Carolina Wren recaptures. Where are the other migrants?
Ah, one more. A Hermit Thrush we first banded as an adult 4 years ago, making this bird at least 5 years old. Site fidelity is one of our main research points here.
Hearing Ruby-crowned Kinglets for the past couple of weeks and hoped we could get one today. We did, right at the end of the morning. A female.
Still drying out and the banks are shifting. Hearing Waxwings now and wait for Yellow-rumps to arrive anytime. Maybe we can reach 21 again next weekend, but it almost seems that the river wants to divert into the marsh first. Stay tuned.
