Our first spring migrant!

Dark-eyed Junco (slate colored)

We kicked our morning off with a great start. We saw Fairbank's first Hammond's Flycatcher of the year! It was quickly followed by detections of Yellow-rumped Warblers, American Pipit, Ruby-crowned Kinglets, and a Wilson's Snipe!

Though we did not catch any of those species, we had a good morning and captured seven birds total. Most were recaptures (six) from this and previous seasons. Black-capped Chickadees were our most frequent species captured (three), and a Slate-colored Dark-eyed Junco was our first migrant captured of the season! It was a quick favorite for today.
