We began the day with a recaptured Carolina Wren and ended up with 4 overall. One was new.
We then recaptured a Northern Cardinal pair.
Next up, a couple of recaptured Hermit Thrushes.
Reserving Bird-of-the-Day for our 7th Belted Kingfisher ever banded, even though it was the third official bird in nets today.
This beautiful female was grumpy in the net but was very relaxed by the time we banded her.
Didn't even hear a Gray Catbird until later in the day so it was nice to get at least one today.
Our first Yellow-rumped Warbler (Myrtle Warbler) was last week as they are slowly arriving this Winter. Nice to have a second this week. Both were juvenile males.
Taking the next two weeks off for the holidays. Both major days hit Sunday, so enjoy and we will be back the 2nd week of January. Thanks for all of the support through last year! Back to festival time in 2023.
