This banding station is not on a major fall migration route. I was pleasantly surprised to find a Northern Waterthrush in a net this morning. In theory the habitat is suitable; at least for a stop over for a waterthrush. This is the first NOWA banded here. This particular bird has a strong yellow shade underneath and in the supercilium.
The other species banded or recaptured today are year round residents: 2 northern cardinals, a trio of tufted titmouse (with a 4th avoiding the net) and a carolina wren.
Unsettled, cooler weather is forecast to come in tonight. Today's 90+F temperature is probably the last of the summer heat.
