Our first bird of the day was a recaptured Carolina Wren. We caught another unbaded one later in the morning.
Then we got our first migrant, a new Hermit Thrush.
Next, a female Northern Cardinal
Mid-morning, we captured a House Wren.
The ladies were checking nets and saw what they thought was a leaf in one. Nope. A female Ruby-crowned Kinglet.
As we were closing nets, we captured two more migrants. A male Yellow-rumped Warbler (Myrtle sub-species)...
...and a Western Palm Warbler.
Hearing other species around the property so perhaps next Sunday we can get some of them. Flicker would be nice...
