[cobirds] RMBO Chatfield Banding Station Report, 5/31/12

Interesting to note the differences from day to day – yesterday the majority of our birds were previously-caught-this-season breeding Yellow Warblers; today we had more species and no clearly breeding Yellows.  Here’s the breakdown:

Willow Flycatcher             2 FOS

Gray Catbird                       1 banded earlier this season

Cedar Waxwing                                2

Yellow Warbler                 3 new, 1 banded earlier this season

Yellow-breasted Chat    1 new, 1 banded earlier this season

Spotted Towhee              1

Song Sparrow                    1

American Goldfinch        1

 

Open through Sunday – 3 more days!
