It seemed that Grey Catbirds would be the first catch of the day but a recapture of an Ovenbird beat them to it just after dawn.
|

|
Seemed that the Catbird that wanted to get a band was hanging out farther down the net lane.
|

|
House Wrens dropped in a couple of times during the morning.
|

|
As did a female Orange-crowned Warbler.
|

|
Bird of the Day:
Migrant Eastern Towhee.
Towhees were in full voice throughout the morning.
|

|
Shortly after that male was captured, we netted a female resident Towhee.
Note the straw colored eyes indicating a
local bird as opposed to the migrant's ruby red.

Richard and Deborah tell the kids about the fine art of bird banding to round out 2007.
