A short entry for today. We were hampered by lack of birds, lots of people (other than volunteers) and activity on the property, and the threat of rain so we closed early. We will be switching to Tuesdays (see below) to hopefully have quieter days. We once again kept track of the birds at Possum Long and added Cooper's Hawk to the species tally. Starting in 2013 we will start a page with a "species seen and/or banded list".
One of the birds seen and heard was this Pileated Woodpecker that was excavating on the pole of the Osprey nest. It was joined by another and then they flew "off into the sunset". We hope to see them again.
We will be taking a break from planned banding sessions until Tuesday, January 8, 2013. We will report if we do any impromptu sessions.
