GUCR banding day

Banding was a great success yesterday, catching around 75 birds with nine nets, including 8 species of warbler (Yellow-rumped, Orange-crowned, Black-throated Gray, Townsend's, Macgillivray's, Wilson's, Hermit and Yellow), an Evening Grosbeak, a male Western Tanager, a Warbling Vireo, a bunch of Song Sparrows, and others.

My first Evening Grosbeak, surprisingly not bitey


Monstrous indeed

Until next year #alumnigame

After an awesome alumni weekend with CUT, I somehow made it back to Cali in time for work today. Not much sleep for four days, but with 29 birds today we were kept busy at Pine Gulch
