Well, you sure cannot depend on the weather forecast here. This morning was
a bit cooler than predicted but we caught more birds than yesterday. A
couple new species for the season include: White-eyed Vireo and
Curve-billed Thrasher. Not sure what the thrasher was doing near the nets;
however, a nice bird to see.

*15 New Banded Birds*
White-eyed Vireo- 1
Willow Flycatcher- 1
Swainson's Thrush- 9
Bullock's Oriole- 2
Brown Thrasher- 1
Curve-billed Thrasher- 1

*3 Recaptures-breeding species*

Yellow Warbler
Bullock's Oriole

Birds are in full breeding and still a few migrants trickling through.
Birder's have observed Ladder-backed Woodpecker, American Robin, House
Finch families on the ranch.
If wanting to visit the ranch this week, please register online at the
Aiken Audubon website www.aikenaudubon.com

The banding station will be open tomorrow through Saturday from sunrise
