Eighty-four new banded species with two recaptures tells us that the earlier banded birds have left for northern climes. Nine warblers were heard or seen including Blue-winged, Orange-crowned, Nashville, Yellow, Yellow-rumped, Western Palm, Black-and-white, and Common Yellowthroat. Highlights were hearing a Baltimore Oriole and catching a Red-breasted Nuthatch and a Blue-winged Warbler male.

Top 5 species were:
White-throated Sparrow-34
Ruby-crowned Kinglet-12
Myrtle Warbler-7
Blue Jay-5
Hermit Thrush-4
Tomorrow should have more diversity. Enjoy the last days of April! Quiz bird front:
Bird with a slender Vermivora, fine gray streaks on chest, split eye ring, and no wing bars or tail spots says it is an Orange-crowned Warbler! There was no orange on the crown of this bird making it a female. Enjoy!
