August 30, 2005

Well, the new pole system seems to work well.  Easy to adjust and Kim came up with a good system for takedown.
 
Great day banding today.  Over 20 birds in one net run!  We had to close nets for about an hour while processing these birds and we still had 34 captures today. 11 species.
 
Here are the numbers:
 
4 American Goldfinch
1 Black-capped Chickadee
11 Swainson's Thrush
2 Empidonax sp. (With 20 birds caught - no time to ID - erring on bird safety)
2 Magnolia Warbler
1 Wilson's Warbler
3 American Redstart
4 Northern Waterthrush
3 Ovenbird
1 Connecticut Warbler
2 Red-eyed Vireo
