Wind is Not Our Friend

As we end April we hope to get a few migrants. The day looked promising early on , then the wind changed our fortunes. Mostly locals for the rest of the day.

The same Painted Bunting we banded last week is still sticking around.

Four Northern Cardinals were captured. Some new, some recaptured.

Our first baby Carolina Wren was banded along with its parent.

We sometimes get a surprise or two in our final month in the season, but is mostly baby birds and other locals. 4 weeks to go!
