Jim Gruber and I were a little saddened today to catch the first
WHITE-THROATED SPARROW of the fall at the banding station, reminding us
that the seasons will soon start changing quickly. Also present were a
few migrating flocks of Canada Geese, one containing a lone SNOW GOOSE.
An amazing flight of BALD EAGLES occurred with a final count of 52
immatures and 16 adults, all heading SW to SE. Other banding highlights
yesterday included a first fall CONNECTICUT WARBLER, SWAMP SPARROW,
SAVANNAH SPARROW, AND PROTHONOTARY, BAY-BREASTED, AND CAPE MAY WARBLERS.
