Banding was canceled to day due to rain but it wasn't a total loss. Nancy Price and I checked out the migrants and there were quite a few. Nancy saw a flycatcher that was not a phoebe today. If we can refind it there'd be another new bird for the property. Yes, another - today we added Summer Tanager to the property list.
There were several warbler species including Ovenbird, American Redstart, and Black-throated Blue Warblers (all good news as these species do end up in the nets). Blue-gray Gnatcatchers, Red-eyed Vireos, and a male Ruby-throated Hummingbird were also found.
Next planned session will be September 24 but in all likelihood we will band whenever there is a break in the weather.
