Things Begin to Tick Up

Beautiful weather today. Winds did not pick up until 9:30 and we wrapped up starting at 9:45 when the air changed and all activity dropped to zero. Still had some migrants getting ready to move North so it was a pretty nice day.

First bird up was a Gray Catbird. We caught 3 today. They are getting restless and about to move out.

Next was an Ovenbird. We had 2 today.

Then, a recaptured House Wren.

We captured 4 Carolina Wrens along the way.

We ended with a new male Northern Cardinal.

So, busier. Still waiting for the wave to show up for Spring migration. We still usually get some migrating warblers through Earth Day. Stay tuned.
