NOTES: It would appear that the spring migration is
over for the most part. CEDAR WAXWINGS have moved into
the area to take advantage of the excellent TWINBERRY
crop. One captured female showed a developing brood
patch, another bird was seen carrying nesting material.
6 of 7 newly captured SONG SPARROWS were hatch year birds.
The recaptured BLACK-CAPPED CHICKADEE was first banded
8/22/1999, the SWAINSON'S THRUSH 5/22/1999 and the SONG
SPARROW 4/18/1999.
