We had yet another wet and rainy day here in Fairbanks, thus we did not get to band birds today. We have noticed quite a decrease in bird activity around the banding station in recent days. The last of the Sandhill Cranes are leaving the fields, no more flycatchers can be heard in the canopy, geese are flying in formation and heading south, and the ground is covered in freshly fallen birch and poplar leaves - all signs that winter is coming! Fingers crossed we have better weather next week!
