Appledore Island Migration Station
Just another WordPress site
On Monday, our opening was delayed until 0530 as we waited for the rain to stop and for weather that would dry the nets. Although we missed sunrise we did have a very respectable day for this late in the season, with 108 new birds banded, no recaptures or returns and only 1 Common Yellowthroat. You’ll see from the attached report that it was a flycatcher day.
Good wishes from Peg, Susan and Anthony, as we prepare to pack up for the season.
