Our first bird right after dawn was our 2nd Swamp Sparrow in two weeks. Odd thing is that is was in Net 8 which is right next to the woods. Why is a Swamp Sparrow coming out of the woods? Should be out by the the water. Strange.
Next up, a Hermit Thrush recapture banded exactly one year ago in the same spot it was first caught. We are very interested in this kind of data showing birds show site fidelity over the years.
Juvenile Carolina Wrens are out and about. Like this recaptured bird.
A recaptured female Northern Cardinal arrived soon afterwards.
House Wrens have been laying low and we only got one today.
Hermit Thrushes should have been here a few weeks ago. Our second was a recapture from 3 years ago, also in a net where it was first captured.
Then, a male Northern Cardinal recapture hit the nets.
Finally, another juvenile Carolina Wren, first banded this Spring, was processed.
We hope this front clears in time for next weekend and brings more migrants our way. It should be a nice day, weather-wise, regardless.
