Sunday, August 26, 2007. 35 new, 15 recaptures. A Saw-whet Owl and a Connecticut Warbler highlight the day! The unexpected owl was captured two hours after sunrise. 22 species were captured. The banding crew included David Bonter (BIC), Professor Rafael Herrerra from the University of Tamaulipas Mexico, and three ornithologists from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology: Rachel Vallender, Megan Whitman, and Ernesto Ruelas.

Monday, August 27, 2007. 41 new, 13 recaptures. We are still waiting for a cold front to push the birds south, but today is our best day of the last two weeks. We band our first Black-throated Blue Warbler (a first for Mexican ornithologist Rafael Herrerra). Magnolia Warbler is the bird of the day with 12 banded.

Thursday, August 30, 2007. A Philadelphia Vireo is the first for the season and the highlight of the day. We also capture Warbling and Red-eyed vireos. A young female Hooded Warbler is also a pleasant surprise.
