Another cool day with the winds shifting to the west northwest produced a lot of banded birds from previous days sticking around. Thirty-five recaptures and 59 new birds were captured in 5.5 hours in 23 mist nets. There is till no sign of the Chuck-will’s-widow after Saturday. It would have a hard time finding food I am afraid these past few days.
Highlights for the day are Fox Sparrow, American Tree Sparrow, and Black-capped Chickadee. We usually have two pair of chickadees nesting on the beach ridge. They have been active the past few days.
