More Variety

8 09 2008

Numbers of migrants captured today were similar to previous days but there was more variety. Amongst the new species recorded for the course were typical early arriving migrants such as Black-and-White Warbler, Ovenbird and Yellow Warbler. The Kentucky Warbler was out of habitat, usually this species perfers mature forest, and is likely be a passage bird brought down by the overnight rain.
