We had light wind and fog again today with warm morning temperatures at 60 degrees rising to 86 degrees by noon. A hot one today but still many thrushes around. A little over 5 hours of opened nets produced 111 newly banded birds with 46 recaptures. Twenty-two species were caught including 6 warbler species.
Top birds captured were Swainson's Thrush 23, Blackpoll Warbler 19, Gray-cheeked Thrush 17, White-throated Sparrow 12, Hermit Thrush 7, Purple Finch 5.
Highlights for the day:First Yellow-bellied Sapsucker for the fall season. A Blue-headed Vireo and 3 Black-throated Blue Warblers were still around.
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.
