We had light winds with partly cloudy conditions. There was a high Pressure system overhead with temperatures in the AM in the low 60's. The sky cleared up around 10:30 AM and began getting warm.
For approximately 5.25 hours of open nets, we captured 142 new birds and many recaptures.
This is the first time we heard and saw Golden-crowned Kinglets at the Navarre site. Thrushes were thick with Gray-cheeked Thrushes being the dominant bird of the day. Swainson's Thrush came in second with 19.
We had 8 species of warblers captured and released.
Highlights: Several Purple Finches (an adult male and female plus a couple juveniles), a Philadelphia Vireo, and a couple of Winter Wrens. Not much change in numbers or species expected for tomorrow.
BSBO's passerine migration monitoring project is conducted every spring and fall in the Lake Erie Marsh Region of Northwest Ohio. BSBO Bird Bander's blog will provide you with highlights of what birds are being netted and seen in this area as well as interesting information about bird banding in general.
