Sunday, May 30. 42 new, 17
recaptures. Spring migration seems to be coming to an end with a nice diversity
of species (22), but few individuals of each species captured. Highlights
include very late birds such as a White-crowned Sparrow and a one-eyed
Ruby-crowned Kinglet. The weather forecast for our last day is spotty, so we
take down the elevated nets with the help of Cornellians Evan Barbour and Dana
Hawley.
Monday, May 31. 26 new,
14 recaptures. The rain holds off for 5 hours after sunrise, but few birds are
around. We end the season with 3,891 birds banded. Special thanks to the crew
who helped pack up the station-- Marilyn Guenther, Shirley Meston, Ann Adams,
Judith Scarl, and John Waud.
