Ending January

A typical start to the day as we set. American Robins are going crazy all over the area but we could not get any of the flocks to drop down. Oh, well.

First bird up was a recaptured Northern Cardinal.

Our next local recap was a Carolina Wren.

Alex, a returning visitor got to release the Carolina Wren.

Gray Catbirds have been lurking in the woods so it was nice to get a new one today.

Our final bird of the day was a female Yellow-rumped Warbler (sub-species: Myrtle Warbler) who hit and bounced out of Net 21 twice and then preened before hitting it a 3rd time. The rising wind was not helping us by the end of the day.
