Kinglets coming through

A short banding session this morning as a front is coming in. Disappointing in the number of birds as only one went in the nets. However that bird is a male Ruby-crowned Kinglet so the kinglets are coming through here. Earlier in the month a White-throated Sparrow went in a net. I've not seen or heard one since then but they are probably here.

The dogwood berries are uneaten, so far. Starlings are beginning to mass in trees across the lake so probably not be long before a flock of starlings comes to eat the berries. There is very little activity at the bird feeders.
