When Andrew arrived at the table this morning he was met with a lot of tree debris all around. Once that was cleared out of the way he looked to the left. A tree had fallen since we were gone and hit part of the supply table and blocked the path to Net 2. But where did this tree come from?
So, he headed out to set the other nets and...OH...that tree. Guess the rangers will have another chore after they take care of the parks proper.
Hermit Thrushes hit in a small flurry as we started to check the lanes.
Followed by an Ovenbird. We neglected to get a good shot of the House Wrens brought in after that.
We hear Brown Thrashers every week (they breed here) and this is the first new one we have captured in quite a while.
Western Palm Warblers were in force again.
We see a lot of Carolina Wrens but rarely get a chance to stare down that scary throat.
Next up, a female Northern Cardinal.
The day wrapped with a lovely female Black-and-White Warbler.
We currently are expecting Hurricane Nicole. The area does NOT need more water and we will see if more trees fall and how high the river will get this round. Stay safe.
