There was a distinct chill in the air this morning as we opened the station for day; fall is beginning to wind down as leaves fall from the trees and we capture fewer migrants. Of the migrants remaining, we caught one adult female Wilson's Warbler, some Ruby-Crowned Kinglets, and a few American Tree Sparrows. We were excited to catch a new species of the year: a Canada Jay! Despite how large this bird appears, it's actually about the size of a smaller American Robin (about 70 grams). This brings our species total to 34. Do you think we'll get to 35?
