Early in the week, waves of migrants were still passing through in good
numstarted. The species were similar, in general, than the previous week
Black-Throated Green Warblers, American Redstarts, Red-eyed Vireos,
Black-capped Chickadees and Red-breasted Nuthaches.
The 10th of September was especially good, with 14 banded Black-throated
Green Warblers, 16 banded American Redstarts, 5 Red-eyed Vireos, and 4
Swainsons Thrushes. Also worth noting that day are the 2 banded
Black-billed Cuckoos, the first banded Yellow-banded Flycatcher for the
fall, as well as the first Philadelphia Vireo and Eastern Pheobe.
Lots of Common Loons are seen daily on the Georgian Bay, along with a few
Red-necked Grebes.
The last 2 days of the week, no banding was done because of rainy
conditions.
