We had a great day at CFMS. We captured a total of 20 birds of eight different species. Five of those species were new for the year!! We captured a Hairy Woodpecker, Hammond's Flycatchers, American Robins, Yellow-rumped Warblers (Myrtle), Dark-eyed Junco (slate colored), Savannah Sparrow, White-crowned Sparrow, and Common Redpolls.
Three of our recaptured (two Yellow-rumped Warblers and a Hammond's Flycatcher) were captured and banded as adults last spring; each of these birds are now at least two years old but could be older. The Hairy Woodpecker we recaptured was a male that we originally banded back in the spring of 2017 as a 'three-year-old'. He is now at least five years old! We also suspect that he has a nest near our station!
