Mini-wave

Today we had a small wave of arrivals on the island. Nothing too exciting, but we gained quite a few songbirds (Robins, Varied Thrushes, American Pipits, Cedar Waxwings, a Clay-clolored Sparrow, White-crowned Sparrows, a Savannah Sparrow, Golden-crowned Sparrows, a White-throated Sparrowm Oregon Juncos, Anna's Hummingbirds and more) and banded around 17 of them.

  1. How about some cedar waxwing pictures, Sam? They are my #1 favorite bird, although those burrowing owls are a close second.

  2. Yea, I'd love to get some waxwing photos, out here they're mostly heard not seen, and if we see them they're high up, trying to escape the island I suppose.
