Yesterday we banded Gray-cheeked Thrush and Wood Thrush an, last week, a very dark Veery a la Newfoundland sub-spp. Today we had Brown Creeper, Ruby-crowned Kinglet and Golden-crowned Kinglet as well as Swainson's Thrush. Gorsbeaks still dribbling through as are Nashville, Magnolia and Myrtle warblers.
