The winds were out of the east today so birds moved off the beach ridge inland. It was pretty quiet as far as bird songs. A male Winter Wren was still singing his heart out this morning however. A White-eyed Vireo was singing too. Fifty-two new birds banded with seven recaptures in 5.75 hours. Three species of warbler were captured today; Black-throated Green and Myrtle with a recaptured Northern Waterthrush from yesterday.
Top 4 species banded:
White-throated Sparrow - 18
Ruby-crowned Kinglet - 8
House Wren - 7
Northern Cardinal - 4
