Today was a slow day, with a total of 22 birds, 15 were newly banded and 7 were recaptured. Our highlight of the day was catching our second Field Sparrow of the season! These little guys have a call that sounds like a ping-pong ball dropping. I am hoping this weekend shows some improvement and we get our 100th species this weekend! Our guess is either a Tree Swallow or American Goldfinch. Stay tuned and hopefully we post something this weekend! What bird do you think we might get for our 100th species?

Little Bear:
As has become the recent norm, birds were few and far between this morning. We caught 14 birds before closing down without much fanfare. The skies were heavily overcast, but we had one bright spot- an adult male Yellow Palm Warbler. As we've written about before, we are much more accustomed to the brown-bodied 'western' Palm Warbler, and getting a yellow 'eastern' individual is always a treat.
