FOS: Eastern Wood-Pewee

Despite the north winds last night, the bird activity was still slow with 19 new birds and 4 recaptures.  A species that may have taken advantage of the north winds was the Red-eyed Vireo, who made up more than half of the new birds banded today.  Mixed in with all the Red-eyes was our first-of-the-season Eastern Wood-Pewee.
