Another beautiful day to be outside! Well, let me say there were birds around but they chose to be in different areas than our mistnets today. Most birds were active north of the olive grove in the elm and juniper trees. Despite the nets not catching the sample of birds that were around, it was still a nice day. Eighteen species were caught including 6 warbler species if counting the subspecies. There is still a few Hermit Thrushes around amongst the Swainson's Thrushes that were here. *36 New Banded Birds* Northern House Wren- 7 Yellow Warbler- 2 Orange-crowned Warbler- 5 Audubon's (Yellow-rumped) Warbler- 2 Myrtle (Yellow-rumped) Warbler- 1 Intergrade (Audubon's X Myrtle) Warbler- 1 MacGillivray's Warbler- 2 Common Yellowthroat- 2 American Goldfinch- 1 Lincoln's Sparrow- 1 White-throated Sparrow- 1 Mountain White-crowned Sparrow- 3 Gambel's White-crowned Sparrow- 1 Hermit Thrush- 1 Swainson's Thrush- 3 Brown Thrasher- 2 American Robin- 1
*2 Recaptures* American Robin Canyon Towhee
The Banding station will be open tomorrow from sunrise until @ 11AM. Please stop by and share your sightings with us. Please register on the Aiken Audubon website if birding or visiting the ranch. www.aikenaudubon.com
Have a good day,
