Notes:We tried banding Tuesday and were rained out after an hour.
Today we got through a typical 4-hour session before the rain kicked
in. Good movements of BLACK-HEADED GROSBEAKS, WESTERN TANAGERS and
YELLOW WARBLERS. I heard several SWAINSON'S THRUSHES in the pre-dawn
crepusculatity, but we only managed to catch one.
