Just a quick report for the second weekend of the Autumn banding season. The weather was generally cloudy, with occasional showers, and light winds from the west. The second young Osprey left the nest early on Saturday morning, to great sighs of relief, no doubt, from his/her parents!!
102 birds were banded over the two days, as follows:
American Goldfinch 12
American Robin 2
American Redstart 3
Baltimore Oriole 1
Black-capped Chickadee 6
Cedar Waxwing 1
Common Yellowthroat 1
Gray Catbird 12
House Wren 6
Indigo Bunting 1
Least Flycatcher 1
Northern Cardinal 4
Red-eyed Vireo 5
Rose-breasted Grosbeak 7
Song Sparrow 32
"Traill's" Flycatcher 5
Warbling Vireo 1
Yellow-bellied Flycatcher 1
Yellow-shafted Flicker 1
The coming weekend is looking somewhat dodgy from the weather perspective, but as we all know, the forecast changes more than the weather itself!
