female Northern Cardinal recapture
band hidden behind thumb
You know it was quiet since I had time to photograph a flower. Pretty and too nice to not share.
Next regularly scheduled banding: Tuesday, September 27. Nets go up at 6:45.

I ran another solo session today with five nets so maybe it was a good thing that things were quiet. I recaptured 2 of our young cardinals. Other than that the only migrant I saw was a female Black-throated Blue Warbler. Blue-gray Gnatcatchers are on the property but we are waiting for more......

Glad to see Possum Long banding is getting started! Migration in northern New Jersey seems a bit prolonged, for example migrant hummingbirds still coming through in numbers and late-ish sightings of nighthawks. Other birds are arriving somewhat early, notably RC Kinglet and Hermit Thrush. They are all headed your way!
