Another quiet morning and if the Wilson's Warblers had not made a small appearance it would have very slow birdwise. We did catch a couple Hermit Thrushes. Thrushes have been absent from the station for a few days. Ruby-crowned Kinglet was first of the season. Both recaptured Wilson's Warblers were one tenth of a gram less and one tenth of a gram more than the original capture date. Both are hatching year birds so guess they are not as good at capturing prey. Plenty of mosquitoes for them to practice and eat!
The Banding station will be open tomorrow @sunrise until noonish. Stop by the station to share your sightings. The Ruby-throated Hummingbird male was visible at the feeder for most of the morning. If interested in birding or visiting the ranch, please sign up on the Aiken Audubon website. *www.aikenaudubon.com <http://www.aikenaudubon.com>*
Have a good day birding,
