Hi Birders and Banders,


I've just uploaded the final, humungous blog of the year!


Our normal quieter October exploded with huge numbers of birds moving
through the park and resulted in one of our busiest months of the year with
lots of species diversity including two White-throated Sparrows, two
Wilson's Snipes, two Northern Shrikes and several Accipiters all caught for
banding.


The blog is loaded with information on molt from Zonotrichia and Melospiza
Sparrows to Wood Warblers and Woodpeckers!

Happy fall birding and banding!
