Hey-Hey, we could have nasty weather and no birds. I will take nice weather over nasty weather and no birds.
A Rose-breasted Grosbeak posed for a few seconds in the morning sunshine and then flew farther south of the fence. A handsome Western Tanager and Black-headed Grosbeak made a singing appearance before leaving the banding station area.
A Summer Tanager female was a prize in the mistnets midmorning. Six bird species were captured and banded. Another mighty list for you:
*7 New Banded Birds* Audubon's (Yellow-rumped) Warbler-1 Northern House Wren-1 Lincoln's Sparrow-2 Swainson' Thrush-1 Summer Tanager-1 Gray Catbird-1
No Recaptures
Tomorrow we will be open @ sunrise until @ 11AM. the Banding Station will be closed on Sunday. We will open up on Monday. No construction noise until Monday so get your birding slots this weekend. Sign up at the Aiken Audubon Society website for birding access on Chico Basin Ranch. (https://www.aikenaudubon.com)
Have a good weekend,
