Yep, both of yesterdays quiz birds were White-throated Sparrows!!! An after
hatch year male and a hatch-year sex unknown.
Jill and I had 67 birds this morning [60 banded and 7 recaptured ]
including our first two Fox Sparrows of the year (see below); our first
Brown Creeper ever! (see below); 20 White-throated Sparrows!, 8 Hermit
Thrushes;9 Yellow-rumped Warblers (Myrtle); two Winter Wrens and a House
Wren. We banded NO Catbirds, we managed 1 Field Sparrow, but they've nearly
gone, and the only warbler species was Yellow-rumped.
Cheers
Dave
PS We had a flock of blackbirds that included cowbirds, red-wings,grackles,
and a couple Rusty's in the tree tops all morning.
