First-of-season Fox Sparrow!

Fox Sparrow



We opened the station late due to a lingering rain storm. Luckily, the sunshine came out and transformed our morning into a beautiful day. We were also excited to capture a new first-of-season, a Fox Sparrow! It was a gorgeous after-hatch-year (adult) male. We captured many more adults (approximately 15% of total captures) today, which is unusual; most of our captures consist of hatch-year birds.
