The temperatures finally warm up to reasonable banding weather in North Carolina, though there is still ice on shaded parts of the lake. A Cardinal was singing. White-throated Sparrows were the most common species banded today; followed by a pair of American Goldfinch, a pair of recaptured Carolina Chickadees, and singles of Brown Thrasher, Hermit Thrush, Carolina Wren, Myrtle Warbler and Ruby-Crowned Kinglet.
On the lake during the cold snap I've counted more Ring-necked Duck then ever before. My count was at 100 one day.
On the gardening front. I've started to remove weeds and prepare one of the vegetable beds; I'm working on seed orders; and the blueberry bushes are pruned.
