Young female NOPA

Our one and only Northern Parula so far.

Bay-breasted Warbler

This is the third BBWA caught at Manomet in the past decade.  Are spruce budworms up?

BHVI

Blue-headed, so good.  Cassin's Vireo loses.

Gray-cheeked Thrush

One of a half dozen Gray-cheeked Thrush we've caught this season.

#800

Blog post number 800 here.

Our first of two hatch year female Sharp-shinned Hawks from yesterday before release.

Blackpoll Warbler

Cape May Warbler

Once again, we have caught a species that hasn't been in the nets at Manomet since 1999.

VEER

Our first Veery of the season a couple of weeks ago.  We've now had 10+, as well as five Gray-cheeked Thrush and a number of Swainson's.

Nashville Warbler

Geothlypis

Young male Mourning Warbler.

Our first Connecticut Warbler.

2nd WEWA

We somehow managed a second Worm-eating Warbler this season!

Chat

These guys shouldn't really be here, considering they don't breed in the state, but almost every fall dispersing young find their way to Manomet.

Intergrade Flicker

On our closing net run yesterday we caught the first intergrade Northern Flicker I've ever seen and only the second in the last decade here.  This is a hybrid between the eastern yellow-shafted subspecies and the western red-shafted subspecies of Northern Flicker.

Maggy

Our first Magnolia Warbler of the season from last week.

AMRE

Only a couple of these adult male American Redstarts have been caught in the last decade, not bad.

Scarlet Tanager

Our one and only Scarlet Tanager for the season so far.

Yellow-throated Vireo?

It's the first since 1999, which is hard to believe considering they breed in Massachusetts. Beautiful, loud bird

Young Red-shouldered Hawk

Despite having trapped hawks for a couple of seasons my only two in hand experiences with Red-shouldered Hawks has been at songbird banding stations.  My first was this spring in California and my second was just last week here at Manomet.  Another young bird, of course.
