A Nice Start to February

February is typically fairly quiet, so it was nice to have a bunch of birds right of the gate. Connie had a hard time getting to the end of the lanes without having birds in nets to bring back to the table.

First up, a recaptured House Wren.



Next to it in the same net was our first Northern Cardinal of the morning. A female.



The next recaptured bird was a Carolina Wren.



We caught 4 Gray Catbirds today. They are starting to get wrestless as Spring gets ever closer.



Then a nice change of pace. A Hermit Thrush.



Several more Northern Cardinals were brought in, including this male.



Down at Net 19, a female Ruby-crowned Kinglet was hanging quietly while doing her impression of a leaf.



As the day wound down we began catching Yellow-rumped Warblers, like this female.



And then, a few males.



Forecasts are trending toward rising winds on Sunday after a late week cold front passing through.
