Notes: We started up the fall banding season today. Many hatch-
year birds and a brief flurry of migrants including a BLACK-HEADED
GROSBEAK, WARBLING VIREO and 5 warbler species.

This week's bird in hand is an adult _lutescens_ type ORANGE-CROWNED
WARBLER (probably a male) molting into basic (fall) plumage.
Although it does not show well on the photo, the fresh feathers of
the back were bright yellow-green except for grayish ends.

I do not know which to prefer,
The beauty of inflections
Or the beauty of innuendoes,
The blackbird whistling
Or just after.
